Pennsylvania Buildings : Architecture

Major Architectural Designs, PA, USA – Built Environment.

post updated January 26, 2025

We’ve selected what we feel are the key examples of Pennsylvania Buildings, USA. We aim to include PA real estate projects that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.

We cover completed Pennsylvania buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across the state. The focus is on contemporary PA buildings but information on traditional properties is also welcome.

We have 2 pages of Pennsylvanian Architecture selections with links to many individual project pages.
