Bldg.

On-Yomi: カン — Kun-Yomi: やかた、たて

Elements:

Bldg., eat, food, umbrella, good, halo, drop, silver, bureaucrat, house, maestro without baton

Heisig story:

The abbreviation of Building suggests that this kanji is used in proper names, as indeed it often is. Keep your connotation distinct from Inst. (Frame 1401) when working with the elements: food . . . bureaucrat.

Koohii stories:

1) [DrJones] 24-2-2008(211): A building that eats bureaucrats!!!!!!!!

2) [rgravina] 17-6-2006(163): This Bldg. is like all the other government buildings - they house bureaucrats who sit around sipping wine and eating expensive meals at the taxpayers expense.

3) [mantixen] 25-9-2008(40): The bureaucrat never goes out for lunch, always choosing to eat in the Bldg.

4) [jamestaverner] 21-2-2008(15): Empire State Building (to avoid confusing with government office (#591 庁) and Inst. (#1304 院)). McDonalds lobbies the bureaucrats by treating them to a lavish feast at the top of the Empire State Building.

5) [BlackMarsh] 8-1-2006(11): As this is a type of abbreviation you can assume that the building type is that of a government organisation. And we all know the type of people found in these "bldgs" - fat bureaucrats who have eaten too much food.
