The value for building key should be the type of the building, not its
current use. A church remians church even after islam takes over and
its used as a mosque or vice versa (Pécs). Villa is different from
apartments or bungalow, but all are usually used for residential
purposes. There are poly-functional buildings that contain part of
everything and should have separate type.
Changing the description was wrong.
