I'm confident that some buildings were commonly referred to by name same as address (e.g. 70 South Williams, 284 East Avenue, and a few others).

Some others I mostly heard referred to by function or what was in them (e.g. before it was renamed I heard 438 College Street referred to as "the arts and sciences building", similar for 34 South Williams).

I never figured out what was up with the 475-479 thing. IIRC, my instructors who worked there avoided trying to name the building and just said "come to the Asian Languages department". I'd be happy copying the official map and using the name 479 Main Street with proper address tagging for both.

My overall impression is that people on campus get used to buildings having names and just start acting like they all do. This applies both to people talking and to official sources like the campus map and internal facilities data I worked with that always had a name field filled in.

Of course, all my knowledge is out of date and also UVM specific, I don't know how things work at Champlain.

In my opinion, many of these university buildings do have names, even if their name is a restatement of the address.

See e.g. the UVM map https://www.uvm.edu/map/ which says things like "479 Main Street - Address: 479 Main St." Also, my impression from having been and worked there was that everyone treated them as named.

On the other hand, a lot of this was out of date as you fixed up with renames, demolished buildings, etc. And that only applies to college buildings, I don't have any reason to think non-college buildings have names.

Welcome, and thanks for adding these!

Usually, we don't put names on barns or houses (because a house isn't named "House"). Instead, we can just choose a building type.

I've made the changes (changeset/144177018) so these are now correctly labeled as a barn and a house.

I hope to see you around!

Did something happen to Mountain View Drive in Colchester? Last time I was there it was definitely not highway=service

Reverted in #112889890. This was mostly because it impacted the revert of #112631205.

Reverted in #112889890. You've mapped a building where there is rather famously a large pit in the ground. Are you working from out of date aerial imagery? Please be careful not to mess up work other mappers have done.
