What's the intended use of location?  If what you're really talking
about is the default mailing address for the organization and/or its
headquarters, why not call it a mailing address?

My default interpretation of location would be the physical location
occupied by the headquarters building or campus, ie a place accessible
by car or foot.  A mailing address isn't necessarily going to be
useful as that type of location (e.g. PO Box).
