Tag:building=smithy

A smithy or forge is a purpose-built building where a blacksmith works or used to work.

How to map

Draw the outline of the building and add building=smithy.

If the smithy building has been converted and extended into something else, map it as a building:part=*, since not the entire building is the smithy. For converted smithies, also use building:use=*. For disused smithies, the heritage=* key is a useful combination.

If the smithy or forge is still in use as such, use the tag craft=blacksmith with its required combined tags.

Examples

• 

  Former smithy in Killeigh, Co. Offaly, now part of a house.

• 

  Former blacksmith's in Grand Marais, Minnesota, USA

• 

  Converted smithy, now used as a amenity=bar in New Orleans

• 

  Converted forge, a folk tourism=museum at the time the picture was taken

• 

  Former blacksmith's at Historic Chippewa City, Montevideo, Minnesota with hitching railing outside
