Built in the late 1800’s, this old office building might not look like much from the outside, but you’ll understand why it makes this list the moment you step indoors. Stand in the center of the interior courtyard and gaze up at the natural light that floods the building through the glass ceiling, five stories above you. Admire the marble stairs and intricate metal railings – and snap a few photos to capture the artistry.
