Buildings that look like other things - in pictures

Buildings gallery: The Church by the Sea
The unintentionally bird-like Church by the Sea in Tampa Bay, Florida, has become a minor tourist attraction. Expect to see a crucifix-hat-chicken church spring up in a declining resort town near you any day now Photograph: Guzelian
Buildings gallery: The National Fisheries Development Board building

Buildings gallery: Hitler house
Here it is. The house in Swansea that looks like Hitler. It's comforting to think that one day some kid will stumble on a picture of Hitler and think: "Hey, this guy looks like that house from the internet" Photograph: Benjamin Wright/PA
Buildings gallery: The Big Sheep wool gallery in Waikato, New Zealand
Another one that probably wasn't an accident. This is the Big Sheep wool gallery in Waikato, New Zealand. Do check it out if you're ever in the area. There really is nothing quite like seeing wool in its natural habitat Photograph: Alamy
Buildings gallery: The Basket Building
The headquarters of The Longaberger Company in Newark, Ohio, one of the world's oldest heavy-artillery manufacturers. Wait, no, ignore that. They make baskets. It all makes so much more sense now. Photograph: Sipa USA/Rex Features
Buildings gallery: The Elephant Building in Bangkok
The Elephant Building in Bangkok, which contains offices and flats and looks like a big grey letter 'E' for 'elephant', only on its side and with a weird bit in the corner that looks like an ear, an eye and a tusk. No idea what that's about Photograph: Alamy
