I will reserve judgement until I read some nominees.......This vanity is for those who responded to the previous one about the ugly, ugly, ugly Cathedral almost completed in LA.

I hate to sound parochial but, Trinity Church in Boston is almost unbelievably beautiful, if little known. It is extremely ornate and meticulously maintained. Nothing I've seen in the U.S. or abroad compares.

The Library of Congress is a contender. Grand Central Station in New York is impressive.

A tie. Our late lamented World Trade Center Tower One and Tower Two.

Twelve Oaks . . . before Sherman burned it to the ground, y'all. Oh wait! That was just a movie! Never mind. O.K., I vote for St. Patrick's Cathedral.

Independance Hall, Mount Vernon, and Monticello. Three way tie for number one, as true aesthetics include history and symbolism as well as form. Monticello would have been a runaway #1, were it not for all the unrecognizable busts...
