Nestled in one of America's most historic states (written history dating back to 1682, ahem), these 14 homes are a modern representation of what the Founding Fathers only could have imagined. Each house or apartment on this list builds upon architecture that only exists in the type of place where its capital city produced such legends as Betsy Ross, and, oh, a little something called the Declaration of Independence. And the direction each homeowner has decided to go with their decor is as creative and eclectic as Pennsylvania itself. Go figure.
