I though there was some tag prefix like disused: or abandoned: that could be used with the building=industrial to note what its original purpose was for. 

Maybe you are just supposed to use building=church and shop=poodles for a church that was converted into a poodle shop - but i imagine that would be only if it was really really obvious that it was a church, not just by its shape, but by the presence of original fixtures and ornamental architecture - not just that it has a steeple on one side. 

There has to be some threshold - there are Hundreds and hundreds of  7-11s that closed in Japan that are now repurposed - but you know exactly that it was a 7-11 based on architecture alone - but i don't feel tagging building=convenience_store + shop=poodles on it helps anyone.
