When I walk past a school or other municipal building, I notice that the building has a year carved at or near the front entrance. What does that particular year denote?

It could also be the address. I remember embarrassing myself at a Mensa meeting by commenting on how old the building was where I worked. Someone asked if the date was actually the address. It was.
