13. For an exterior it’s hard to beat the Chrysler Building as an essentially American building.

14. I gotta say Soldier Field in Chicago

15. Interior: Library of Congress, Washington DC

    Exterior: Tribune Tower, Chicago

19. I am a fan of Los Angeles Art Deco and really like the Park Plaza building. But the Chrysler building is really cool.

20. Fallingwater: Frank Lloyd Wright

21. I know you want a specific answer, but NONE of the buildings listed in the comments will ever be more b-e-a-utiful than ***a clean, functioning bathroom when you really need to shit***. It could be in the grungiest, most dilapidated abandoned truck stop hellhole; but if the stall is clean and the toilet works, *ain’t a damn thing pertier* than that building.

22. The fallingwater house by Frank Lloyd Wright

23. any [Frank Lloyd Wright](https://www.incollect.com/articles/the-top-16-frank-lloyd-wright-houses-you-can-tour) home. they are just gorgeous.

24. Venice Cafe.

25. The space needle in Seattle

26. The LA Disney Concert Hall.

27. The PDX international terminal.

28. There is no building more uniquely iconic in the U.S. than the Space Needle in Seattle.

29. LA city hall has always been amongst my favourites. The Art Deco style is beautiful, and I just picture it in 30’s and 40’s LA being the tallest building in the city, when LA was more known for its street car network than its freeways, and an iconic age for Hollywood. It just reminds me that it’s one of the few surviving relics of that era of LA.

30. The New York State Capitol Building.

    It has no business being so obnoxiously opulent.
