:::::::It is certainly valid to distinguish between buildings that have been repurposed and buildings that do not exist any longer. The problem is that it isn't obvious that "Former buildings" and "Demolished buildings" mean what you mean by them; they are vague terms.

If the consensus turns out to be "leave it there, it's not hurting anyone, just rename it if it's confusing", we still have the question of what distinction is intended, and what terms to use to make that distinction clearly.
