Temple, Has anyone built one? Options

Simply put has anyone here built or know if there has been built a temple for the ancient sumerian Gods/Goddesses? I'm not talking about a portable one. More like a building. It could be very intriguing. Think non-profit status, sacred prostitution, etc.

Now I'm thinking if one were to be built. How would you design it? I like the Ziggurat idea but it'll have to have a modern twist. For even though they are ancient Gods/Goddesses, I'm a modern man and like my creature comforts to much. Would it have a rectory like some churches so that the priests/priestesses could live there and practice there devotions? I think that would be ideal. Obviously they wouldn't be wealthy, but thats what fund raisers and the non profit status can help with. Perhaps even have a chamber set aside for some rites that would NOT be open to the public. What do you think? I realize its a little OT but I think it has enough to do with the post to keep going.
