Thought this was pretty interesting - The famous San Diego (Coronado) landmark, the Hotel Del Coronado! It's from the Google Earth 3D
Description
The Hotel Del, as it is affectionately known, is one of the last
surviving examples of the once-popular wooden Victorian beach resort. Architect
James Reid’s jumble of turrets, gables, and cupolas typified Gilded Age
exuberance. Built largely by Chinese and Chinese-American laborers, the hotel is
one of the oldest and largest wooden structures in California and one of the
biggest resorts on the Pacific Coast of North America.
