It has been a while since I worked in a facility with such a building. But I recall it being called a "guard shack" or "guard house". Taginfo has only one guard_shack (and one guard_booth) but does have 100 guardhouse entries. The few building=guardhouse entries that I looked at via bing imagery do seem to be the type of facility being discussed.
And the "modern usage" section on Wikipedia seems to fit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guardhouse -Tod On Dec 8, 2013, at 8:35 AM, ael wrote: > On Sun, Dec 08, 2013 at 04:14:33PM +0000, Jonathan wrote: >> Wikipedia suggests a gatehouse as a medieval construction: >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatehouse >> >> building=gatehouse has been used 19 times, but in what context I don't know. > > +1.
