The coolest building in every US state, from historic estates to futuristic designs

History, art, and local aesthetics are all reflected in some of America's most unique buildings. Some are prehistoric, and others are futuristic.

Alabama's Gulf, Mobile, and Ohio Passenger Terminal, located in Mobile, is a stunning example of Spanish-inspired architecture. The cream walls and red clay tiles were designed by P. Thornton Marye and completed in 1907, with subsequent restoration following the cessation of passenger train service in the 1950s.

Alaska's University of Alaska Museum of the North, situated in Fairbanks, houses a variety of exhibits showcasing the state's native cultures, natural wonders, and wildlife. The museum also provides a charming refuge from the cold climate of the region.

Arizona's Chapel of the Holy Cross, located in Sedona, is a breathtaking structure perched atop a red stone butte, some 200 feet above the ground. Completed in 1956, the chapel's design seems to defy gravity as it juts majestically from its natural setting.
