2. A Frank Lloyd Wright house in the US, I don't know the name though.

And the answers are....
1. The Taj Mahal (India)
2. Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater (The United States of America)
3. The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao (Spain)
4. Chartres Cathedral (France)
5. The Alhambra (Spain)
Rivendell (Middle Earth) seemed like a pretty good answer for number five, as well.
Which means that our only E.P. recipient this week is the lovely, talented, and well-informed Mrs.5000!
@Nichim: You know, you didn't really miss any of these....
@Phineas: Nor did you...
@Chance: This one was totally easy.
@Rebel: #3 -- yes, Frank Gehry. #4 -- I kind of agree about the redundance of cathedrals, but you have to be careful who you say that too. One of my best friends called me a "Philistine" for saying such a thing. It's a badge I wear proudly.
@Elvis: You kind of didn't miss any....
@Ben: Hogwarts is a good guess too.
Thanks for playing the MQ, y'all!
Am late to the game, but whatevs... I like buildings!
1. Taj Mahal, Agra, India
2. Fallingwater, Bear Run, PA, USA
3. Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao, Spain
4. Chartres Cathedral, Chartres, France
5. The Alhambra, Granada, Spain
Spain! Represent!
Ironic - I'm working on learning Recuerdos de la Alhambra, likely the second most recognizable piece of classical guitar music, yet couldn't recognize the palace.
Most recognizable? Concierto de Aranjuez.
