Which real life buildings have scale Lego models?

I recently posted about a project to build a scale model of Exeter Cathedral (to raise funds apparently), but it's not the only UK cathedral to get a scale model - nor is the phenomenon limited to UK cathedrals. In fact, I also stumbled across a scale model of Mark Twain's house in Bradley Intl Airport in Connecticut (of all places) when I was travelling last year.

So, I was just wondering - what other buildings have had scale display models built like that in a sort of official/heritage role? (And I'm not counting architecture sets). Has anyone else found Lego scale models/displays in random or unexpected places like this Mark Twain house?

It's not really in a random place but at Brickfair Virginia, there was a Vatican St. Peter's Basilica:

During the London 2012 Olympics, John Lewis department store at Stratford (next to the Olympic Park) had a model of the Olympic stadium.

There's also a model of Harrods inside the Lego section of the actual Harrods store: http://www.toynews-online.biz/news/read/new-and-improved-lego-area-opens-at-harrods/044579

Does the Lego model of Harrods have a scale Lego model of the scale Lego model inside of Harrods?

My apologies, I just had a Zoolander moment...How can we be expected to teach children to learn how to read if they can't even fit inside the building?

You mention other UK cathedrals, I know of the one at Durham. Must find some time to go and visit and add a few bricks!
