Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The National Cathedral in Washington, DC is a prime example, complete with flying buttresses and gargoyles!

St!. Patrick's Cathedral is also pretty Gothic, but it doesn't have flying buttresses!. The Cathedral of St!. John the Divine in New York is actually the largest Gothic-style cathedral in the world!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There are a few - St!. Patrick's Cathedral in New York and the National Cathedral in Washington are famous examples - but you may have to go to Europe for the real deal!. also, Boston College, while not a cathedral, has many Gothic style buildings!. Look up Gothic Revival architecture!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Those sort of churches are more reserved to Europe!.
There may be a few in the U!.S!. but no one has taken a project like that in a long time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
