I have been working to improve OpenStreetMap data in my local area and I've found something that I think is a problem but I can't figure out how to fix it.
The basic problem is that the Jefferson County Courthouse building in Golden, Colorado doesn't render the building outline on OpenStreetMaps.org, see: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/39.72769/-105.20104&layers=N
When I download that bbox in JOSM however, the building outline shows up as a multipolygon named "Jefferson County Courts", with only 1 single part to the multipolygon. I've created a note in OSM about this, see: https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/428842#map=18/39.72784/-105.20062&layers=N
First question: Is there a good reason for that building to be a multipolygon? It is one single building, so I can't think of one.
Second question: Is there a way to preserve the history associated with the multipolygon, but to just make it a regular polygon? I'd like to keep the current boundary and the history associated with it, a couple people seem to have put some good time into that shape and I don't want that to be lost.
If converting it to a singular polygon isn't appropriate, what is keeping it from rendering in the default view of OSM? I know we're not supposed to tag for the renderer, but it's tagged as building=public but isn't showing up like a building.
Thanks in advance for any advice, let me know if I missed any key details.
