The public has ranked two Apple stores among the historic architectural icons of the United States, including Carnegie Hall, the Air Force Academy Chapel and Rockerfeller Center. In a poll of over 2,000 adults on behalf of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), pollster Harris Interactive had the respondents rank 78 structures randomly chosen from a list of 248 nominated by AIA members. The Fifth Avenue (NYC) store ranked #53 in the poll, while the SoHo (NYC) store ranked #141. The stores were among the few retail locations included in the poll. However, Fifth Avenue was ranked behind the top-ranked retail location: Wanamaker’s Department Store in Philadelphia, built in 1909. Check the entire list here.
