Yes it is in the USA, and on Chestnut Avenue, but not in Ohio.

Another hint- it is an old building.

Quite old, in fact positively ancient relatively speaking!

Another hint (and this one kinda gives it away!)

Almost looks like a wedding cake, doesn't it?

Saptarshi got it!

This is considered to be the first modern skyscraper in the world.

Saptarshi,

I have donated to you a matching amount of bullets, so you now have 4400 of them.
