There are so many cool looking old buildings, and they are everywhere. (I kind of have a weakness for wedge shape buildings - Come on, somebody upload a picture of the Flat Iron in NYC).

Do you have a favorite building or house? Are there some titillating bits of architecture in your city or town?
