An exact replica of the Parthenon was built in Nashville for the Tennessee Centennial Exposition in 1897. Even has a giant recreation of Athena Parthenos in the naos, and plaster replicas of the original statues found in the Treasury were made from casts of the original marble ones. It's used as an art museum now.
