Hi Pieren is right. The original word has spread around. In Dutch a hangar is initially for planes, but we do use the same words as magazijn for a storage room or even a shop. But a large magazine is also called pakhuis - warehouse and an entrepot, the last one is also used for a customs facility, to prevent the trouble of making clearance papers over and over again.I agree that the original use or design should get back into the tag of a building. Youre able to reuse a church for condos, but the outside still will be a recognisable church.Like Martin said english ; aircrafts, I expect that all the old, since 1500, trading countries are roughly using the same names or expressions for a storage facility. And as its has been spread all over the world by the leading trading countries.GreetzPs with all this confusion, it seems IMHO that the Wiki has to be corrected a bit.
