Apparently London Bridge agrees, it's somewhere in the USA last I heard.

Of course it is. I was getting muddled up with tower bridge. My apologies.

I always wondered why anyone would do that. In fact I think most people wonder. This quote from that wiki page may explain it though.

Quote:After it was reconstructed, new prospective land buyers were interested in coming to see the London Bridge and take a tour of properties for sale. Land sales improved and McCulloch recouped all of his expenses for the purchase and shipping of the bridge. Since the cost of the land was nothing, the sale of the properties paid for the bridge and more. Recent years have seen a large amount of development in the area of the bridge to increase tourist interest.
