The "Green" methodist church in Mt. Vernon, Baltimore. The funny story about the church is that we consider it one of our historic landmarks, but when the church was built it was apparently the height of tacky and ruffled a lot of feathers.

According to the church's website: the building is made six of different types of stone. Its extraordinary color (especially when wet) comes from the use of the now rare green serpentine marble from the Falls Road area of Baltimore County, and buff and red sandstone trim. Because neither stone wears well, major repairs and replacements of individual pieces with more stable materials were necessary in 1932 and again in 1978.

I like older skyscrapers like Empire State Building and Chrysler Building.
One of my favourite styles is the neoclassical and the US has a couple of good examples with the White House and the Massachusetts State House.
