In many cases, the buildings are long gone and just the name remains. I *thought* that those places were still labelled in upright letters in the ”official” maps, but it turns out that I was wrong — in the present-day online-only version of those maps, those names that have lost their buildings have turned italic. Which is good for us, because it means we could still map building=torp where there actually is a building, and something else (historic=torp? historic=farm, farm=torp?) where there isn’t. :)
