Building is the 'common' example. In cases where plots of land receive things then the plot area should have the address. If there are many buildings but only one address, where is the mail to be delivered ? Put the address on that building. In the US where there are mailboxes with the little flags on them it seems correct to put the address on the node for that box.

Each building is subdivided into individual houses and each house has the address tagged to the area. One does the same with your case of smaller buildings and have the address of each on the building. Near me is a building split into flats - with 4 entrances. I've named the building on the area and then marked the entrances each labelled for the properties they serve. -- Mike. @millomweb <https://sites.google.com/site/millomweb/index/introduction> - For all your info on Millom and South Copeland via *the area's premier website - * *currently unavailable due to ongoing harassment of me, my family, property & pets* T&Cs <https://sites.google.com/site/pmailkeey/e-mail>
