Okay, looks like XPath was what I wanted. Here's what I came up with that does what I want:

load('file.xml')) {
        if (checkIfBuildingExists($xmlDocument, $nameToFind)) {
        echo "Found a red building!";
    }
}

function checkIfBuildingExists($xdoc, $name) {
    $result = false;
    $xpath = new DOMXPath($xdoc);
    $nodeList = $xpath->query('/targets/showcases/building', $xdoc);
    foreach ($nodeList as $node) {
        if ($node->getAttribute('name') == $name) {
            $result = true;
        }
    }
    return $result;
}
