First, let's look at some nearby spots, like Wilmington's Grand Opera House in Delaware.

Up the parkway in New York, the coolest building was the Chrysler Building, a magnificent skyscraper in the Empire State.

The Art Deco-style building was the tallest in the world when it was built, but it was beaten out by — you guessed it — the Empire State Building just 11 months later.

Take a ride up the expressway to Pennsylvania, and the coolest building is Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, which is located in Mill Run, PA, in the western part of the state, about an hour and 15 minutes from Pittsburgh.

Frank Lloyd Wright's 1935 masterpiece Fallingwater remains Pennsylvania's greatest work of architecture. Water falls from each level of the building into the one below, perfectly integrating with the landscape.

Nassau Hall Named Coolest in New Jersey

So, back here in the Garden State, which building was the coolest? How about Nassau Hall on the campus of Princeton University, which is the oldest building on the campus.

While it now houses the school's administrative offices, during the Revolutionary War it was occupied by both British and American forces and suffered damage during the battles.
