Alternate tagging
This tagging follows the building=house + house=* tagging scheme. The more popular tagging scheme is to tag houses via top-level tags (e.g., building=detached). In this instance, though, the house=maisonette tag is actually more popular than the equivalent building=maisonette tag.
As of June 2022, usage for both the building=maisonette and house=maisonette tags is exclusively in the United Kingdom.
