Realistic Digital Recreations of Historical Structures?

by tylrwnzl

I saw the photo on the homepage today of the Super Moon lined up right behind the Temple of Poseidon, and thought what a shame it was to not be able to see what that view would've been like when the temple was more than a few decrepit pillars. Obviously there is plenty in the way of sketched drawings, but I was wondering if anyone has ever run across super realistic digital recreations of historical structures that have since been damaged or destroyed?

The Urban Simulation Team at UCLA has reconstructed much of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. It's tricky, though, as we have no photos of the "back" sides of buildings or prosaic details of eaves and foundations, etc.
