Even if architecture isn’t your thing, you surely can recognize the impressive nature of buildings like the infamous Hearst Castle in California, The Capitol of the United States, and the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina—both in photos and IRL. And while many of us could probably guess the most beautiful building from a few states, we’re probably not as familiar as we could be with the architectural wonders across all 50 states. So whether you’re planning a road trip, want to pass some time admiring pretty structures, or simply looking to test your knowledge, you should probably check out the most beautiful building in every state, courtesy of Thrillist.
