MEME: Sunday Seven - Episode 78

They're the familiar landmarks that make you a double-take. Or maybe they're the buildings you'd love to work in, or the homes you'd love to live in. The American Institute of Architects recently published a list of 150 favorite pieces of architecture which you can view here if you need some inspiration. You, fortunately, only have to come up with a list of seven. (And no, your seven do not necessarily have to be on their list.)

But first, though Kathy of Kathmandua, PA was first to leave a comment stating that her responses were up, since she didn't leave the specific link to her post, according to the rules, Chele, of "On the Tip of My Fingers...," is declared first to play last week! Congratulations, Chele!

On to this week's question!

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:
Name your seven favorite pieces of American architecture.

Either answer the question in a comment at Patrick's Weekender blog or answer it in your journal and include the link in a comment at Patrick's Weekender blog. (To be considered "first to play," a link must be to the specific entry in which you answered the question.)

My list reflects the fact that the word "America" does NOT mean the United States of America, it is a referent to the continents of North and South America.

1. The White House, Washington, D.C.

2. Mercer's Museum, Doylestown, Pennsylvania

3. Longfellow House, Cambridge, Massachusetts

4. The Summer House, Shelburne Farms, Shelburne, Vermont

5. The Fairmount Banff Springs

6. The Metropolitan Cathedral Or "Catedral Metropolitana" Mexico City

7. The Biltmore Estate, Asheville, North Carolina
