Under Construction or Never Completed

Standing status records whether a building still exists or was lost. The original Crystal Palace, built for the Great Exhibition of 1851, was "destroyed by fire in 1936," Wikipedia notes, after having already been moved from Hyde Park. This dimension separates buildings a visitor could still walk through from those that survive only in record.
