Not a question of 'satisfying' me.
But rather finding the best tags for your use.
And then defining them.

The problem is that people 'miss use' tags that others use for something 
else.

historic may be used by some to simply indicate past use, and that to me 
is wrong.
Some significance historic event that is evident is some current 
feature.. fine.
I could not use historic to describe the past use of a feature.
I would use it to tag some significant historic event.
For example if a historically significant person did some historic thing 
at the school .. then I would tag that, I would not tag the school it 
self as historic.


Another example?
Some past churches have been converted into homes. I would not tag them 
as historic just to document there past use.
