"During Operation Market Garden, the attempt to capture several bridges over the Nederrijn in and around the town of Arnhem in the Netherlands in 1944, the Allied forces parachuted in, and the Hotel Hartenstein was chosen as the temporary headquarters of the British 1st Airborne Division. Although the plan was to hold the captured bridges for two or three days until relieved by ground forces, this relief did not materialise, and as the Germans attacked, the hotel became the centre of the British defensive position. After several days of hard fighting, the allies could not hold their ground and the Germans recaptured the bridges, the hotel and everything else. The operation had been an attempt to quicken the pace toward Germany, but it ended in failure."

Sarissa precision do a version of the hotel which could be cut using the same plans.
If you like that sort of thing, many more buildings on their site.
