From 1903 to 1906, the architectural company Pfleghard und Haefeli developed a rental property for champagne tycoon Friedrich Wilhelm Söhnlein and his American partner Emma Pabst. Söhnlein asked the designers of his house to supply his partner with a pointer of her homeland therefore they included referrals to the White Home in Washington, D.C. Ironically, it’s not the only one– the Executive Estate has numerous architectural twins expanded throughout the world.
The Porcelain Pagoda of Nanjing and the Kew Gardens Pagoda in London
The initial Porcelain Pagoda in Nanjing, China, was integrated in the 15th century and had an amazing 9 stories, reaching a height of 260 feet. The whole tower was made from porcelain bricks. It was damaged throughout the Taiping Disobedience in the 19th century. Building of a reproduction of the historical pagoda started in 2010 and was finished in 2015.
The pagoda in Nanjing was the motivation for lots of comparable structures around the globe, consisting of one in London’s Kew Gardens. In 1762, the copy was developed from brick following strategies by William Chambers.
London’s Tower Bridge and its Twin in Suzhou
Last on this list is Tower Bridge in London and its twin in Suzhou, China. This replicate is not an actual copy: Rather the towers of the initial have actually been doubled, making it appear like a scene from an unusual dream– or possibly Tower Bridge as reimagined by AI– however on the plus side (perhaps), it provides area for a multi-lane freeway.
