Is it possible for one building to represent another? The University of Chicago's Hutchinson dining hall is a replica of Christ Church dining hall, pictured above.
Wikipedia claims that Cornell also has a replica of Christ Church's dining hall, in the form of Risley Hall, but the photographic evidence depicts an inferior copy. I'm inclined to say that Chicago's replica is a more realistic representation than Cornell's.
The question of whether Hutchinson represents Christ Church dining hall was prompted by a remark that PJ made about Hutchinson and Christ Church almost two years ago.
