Architecture is a form of art. When a city constructs a new building, it should add beauty to its streetscape.

But that doesn't always happen. Every town across the United States likely has a tower, a government complex, or an office building that residents wish never went up.

Business Insider asked readers to name the one architectural eyesore they loathe in their state. Responses ranged from a building that looks like a giant wooden basket to a hotel painted solid gold.

The most unpopular buildings — two that were named by nearly a dozen readers — were Boston's City Hall, a concrete structure that one person described as "depressing," and Manhattan's 432 Park Avenue, a skyscraper that another reader said resembles "a very tall trashcan."

Here are the ugliest buildings in every US state, plus Washington, DC:

Most of them are pointedly modern. That should tell architects something.

What hideous wastes of building materials.

Don't know why they picked the Ypsilanti Water Tower as a dishonorable mention.

It's a good old poop of an old time water tower. Certainly better looking than the herds of steel tower mushroom water reservoirs that dot the countryside most everywhere.

Some folks just have a list to shore up.

Agree about the antique water tower; both functional and aesthetically pleasing, to me.

Many find it an example of offensively fallic architecture, shown here just below the Washington Monument.....

Most often, a phallus is just a phallus.

Yep, Lod. There have been phallic suggestions about this old water tower for generations, but the olde structure shows off 19th century mason's work and hand-shingled roofing that you hardly see these days any more.

Used to see this tower often on my way to Willow Run.

Beautiful craftsmanship on that tower; all I've ever seen here are the semi-awful looking metal mushrooms, but I guess that they get the job done.
