You don’t have to go to Chicago or New York to find unique, inspiring architecture.
A city’s architecture is like a living, breathing timeline that puts the trends and values of various eras on display.
1. Marshall, Mich. Tucked away just off I-94 in central Michigan is Marshall, a veritable hotbed of impressive architecture. We’re not kidding when we say this place should be at the top of your list if you love architecture — and here’s why. There’s a massive National Historic Landmark District located in Marshall that includes more than 785 historically significant buildings.
Here you’ll find rich examples of Victorian architecture, including Queen Anne, Italianate, Gothic Revivals, Romanesque and other styles. An elaborate beaux-arts-style building now known as “The Dome,” for example, was built in the late 1890s as a church; it’s now a wedding and event venue with a historic flare.
4. Waco, Texas Though it’s now best known for shiplap and other modern design elements popularized by HGTV’s Chip and Joanna Gaines, Waco, Texas, is also home to several models of architectural styles. You can take a self-guided tour of Waco’s historic homes and buildings, thanks to a handy app developed by Baylor University aptly named “Waco History.” Several of the homes have been preserved and turned into museums by the Historic Waco Foundation, so you can go inside and look around.
You’ll find a little bit of everything in this Midwest city with 280,000 residents, from art deco to Neo-Classical revival to Chateauesque. With its symmetrical limestone facade, the Christian Record Building, designed by local architect Felix Lorenz in 1936, shows off the once-popular art deco style. Lincoln’s U.S. post office and courthouse building, built in the late 1870s and later used as city hall, features Gothic revival and French second empire styles.
