When in doubt, Wikipedia for the chapter and section of legal code, and
Cornell for the actual words.

17.1 120 (a) Pictorial Representations Permitted.— The copyright in an
architectural work that has been constructed does not include the right
to prevent the making, distributing, or public display of pictures,
paintings, photographs, or other pictorial representations of the work,
if the building in which the work is embodied is located in or
ordinarily visible from a public place.
