A small building constructed to house guard(s), common at supervised parking lots, at entrances to industrial or military complexes, at closed apartment complexes and other areas that are surveilled by guards.
Such a building may be additionally tagged with amenity=security_booth if that is its current usage; however, it is possible that buildings originally built for this purpose are abandoned, or used for other purposes, like a generic shop=kiosk.
