Its coordinates are <a href="http://googlesightseeing.com/maps?p=&c=&t=k&hl=en&ll=31.998414,35.883912&z=18" rel="nofollow">31°59'54.19"N, 35°53'2.19"E</a>. I know this for a fact because it happens to be my Aunt's home and my father is the architect responsible for its constructio and adapting the design of the house for the small plot of land it occupies at the top of the hill in West Amman. I spent alot of my childhood years visiting my cousins in this house, and for a few years while my Aunt's family moved to The USA, the house served as the residence of the Omani ambassador to Jordan. The family has since relocated back the house. There’s another, little-know White House replica that was built in Amman, Jordan in the early 1980s. Its coordinates are 31°59′54.19″N, 35°53′2.19″E.

In a semicircle it literally spells out, with well trimmed plants: GOD YOU I kid you not.

But in typical Dallas style only a cheap version - they only did the half that faces the highway from the airport. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=dallas&layer=&ie=UTF8&z=18&ll=32.836237,-96.985288&spn=0.001911,0.005407&t=k&om=1 This thing , also in Dallas, is a white house too.
