Here's an interesting article about a building in Crown Heights that has inspired replicas all around the world. The article describes how 770 Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, "headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement — one of the world’s largest ultra-orthodox Jewish groups — the building has become a powerful symbol of adherents’ faith and connection to the community."
The article traces "at least 11 replicas of 770’s ornamented brick facade have been built in locales as diverse as Milan, Italy and Sao Paulo, Brazil."
