arcade
Let an agent handle arcades by architectural type, location, history, heritage and use, and separate the amusement arcade sense.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

What it is for: Architecture, shelter for walkways and commerce.
It can be identify arcade types in buildings; find historic shopping arcades; check heritage protection; separate amusement arcades.
