  buildingNumber:
    name: buildingNumber
    description: The building number is a number given to a single building or a small
      group of buildings, thus identifying it from its neighbours, for example, 44.
      Building numbers that contain a range, decimals or non-numeric characters do
      not appear in this field but will be found in the buildingName or the sub-BuildingName
      fields.  <b>NOTE - This is a string representation of the building number.</b>

    description: The building name is a description applied to a single building or
      a small group of buildings, such as Highfield House. This also includes those
      building numbers that contain non-numeric characters, such as 44A. Some descriptive
      names, when included with the rest of the address, are sufficient to identify
      the property uniquely and unambiguously, for example, MAGISTRATES COURT. Sometimes
      the building name will be a blend of distinctive and descriptive naming, for
      example, RAILWAY TAVERN (PUBLIC HOUSE) or THE COURT ROYAL (HOTEL). <p>Close
