I'm guess it's made during the 19th century or after and it's in Western Europe. As for architecture, (I'm having a wild guess) is it Art Deco?

Western Europe is correct and Art Deco is partially correct, defending on how you define the Arts & Crafts Movement (this is a hint ;)).

No, but you're extremely hot :). The word Art does have a role in the name of the building.

Can we broaden the rules from just buildings to Iconic/Famous Infrastructure (ie bridges)? If so UseYourIllusion, may I post something since it is your go and it's been a week.

Just go with Iconic Structure then, the only discussion you leave then is whether it's natural or manmade.
