At 20 stories, this triangular wonder—which is also known as the Fuller Building—was the city’s first skyscraper upon its completion in 1902. Thanks to a photo of it snapped by Alfred Stieglitz the year after it opened, it became an instant icon—and has remained so.

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!"
