Cass Gilbert’s neo-Gothic “Cathedral of Commerce” was once the world’s tallest building. So what if the Woolworth no longer has the altitude advantage; this baby’s got buttresses, turrets and gargoyles to spare, and the knockout tower still dominates downtown.

This is my favorite building, unfortunately whenever I get inside I am turned back by Security, a bit dissapointing after flying from Australia.

The architectural sage of Oak Park, IL, was certainly a genius (a fact of which he was well aware, and never neglected to remind others) and Fallingwater is a monument to Modernism. But the Guggenheim, I'm sorry, looks like a tiered toilet bowl. As the editors of Mad magazine would have said in the old days, "Yeccch!"
