By one interpretation, it should be building=semi. The house adjoining might be another buiilding=semi or, if it's the central one in a group of three, it would have to be building=house. As I see it, building=semi is of no value as it's obvious whether a house is detached, semi-detached, or in a terrace. Also, how many houses do you need before it's a terrace? 2? 3? 4? 2 equally sized dwellings: > > https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dingbat_MaryJane.jpg#mw-jump-to-license > They're flats. Do we have a good way of mapping those? I have a couple I've avoided mapping. Entrance to the top one is on the main road, entrance to the bottom one is on a service road parallel to (but lower than) the main road.

Micromappers will be upset unless you place the workplace node precisely, of course, but you probably have never been inside so don't know. That's assuming it still is being used as a combined dwelling and workplace, otherwise map it as whatever it is now - we don't map history (except when we do). -- Paul
