forwarded the query to another list, here's some answers:

Pauline Oliveros and the Deep Listening Band have made a number of
recordings in a cistern in Port Townsend, Washington state, USA,
which has a 45-second reverberation time.   Search online for
"cistern chapel" for more info.

A former train station (now a museum) in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA has a
very large semi-circular rotunda which has drinking fountains in the
two corners.   People at each fountain can have a quiet conversation
that nobody else can here by facing into the fountains, and the sound
carries up and over the front of the rotunda.
