[Developers] /architecture schema changes

I just crawled for non-uniques in the data and came up with just a  
handful which I corrected.  I found two more properties I'd like to  
mark unique:

/architecture/structure/destruction_date
/architecture/structure/construction_cost

and /architecture/house/height_meters didn't actually exist, so  
scratch that one.

I'll wait a day or two before changing the schema.  This is a pretty  
safe change if, indeed, there were anyone out there running queries  
against this data. The only significant schema change is removing the  
building/height_meters property, but that has long been a hidden  
property anyhow.
