nukey March 3rd, 2005, 10:39 PM I must say that I never understood what the fuss was about with the three graces. They are definitely nice, but they just remind me of your average imposing Edwardian office block in London that would'nt attract any comment at all. Perhaps its the location... I dont know.
Monkey March 4th, 2005, 12:19 PM I love this one - probably the best building in Liverpool.

It looks American becuase it was the forefather of many great American buildings and was an important step in the history of the skyscraper. I actually used to work here, so naturally I love it! 9.5 from me!

The building remains the head office for the Royal Liver Friendly Society. It is reputed to be the gothic inspiration for both the Manhattan Municipal Building in New York and the Seven Sisters in Moscow.
Manhattan Municipal Building, New York.

Enormously influential in the civic construction of other American cities, its application of Beaux-Arts architecture served as the prototype for the Terminal Tower in Cleveland, the Fisher Building in Detroit, and the Wrigley Building in Chicago.
