I'm in between here: building typology would depend on the original
purpose of the building, but that would not necessary still be the
current purpose of the building. So, if a building had originally
been constructed as a church and is built in the style of a church,
but is now used as a restaurant, it would be tagged amenity=restaurant,
building=church.
