3D Buildings?

In an attempt to start some new dialog on the Photo-3D list I offer an 
observation I made while protographing images at the Air Force Academy 
here in Colorado Springs. The main chapel at the school is a striking 
landmark, visible for miles, that has become a major tourist attraction 
over the years. As I stood looking at the building it struck me that I 
could free view it! To see for yourself, look at the following picture 
on the web:

The repetitive pattern of the structure is much that of a stereogram, 
and lends itself to free-viewing. When free viewing just one image, you 
can actually see what the building would look like in a stereo pair! 
This got me thinking... Had I ever seen another building (or buildings) 
that allowed you to free view it (them)? Maybe... The World Trade 
Center in NY? A pair of identical office buildings near I-25 in south 
Denver?  Has anyone else ever seen such a building?
