From the original press release:

During the compilation of the list of 248 works, the Apple Store Fifth Avenue in New York City was inadvertently omitted from the public survey.The building was subsequently evaluated by a separate online survey of the general public, using the same question and overall structure as the original survey. Based on the results of interviews with 2,214 U.S. adults for this survey, the Apple Store Fifth Avenue ranked 53rd on the overall list. These interviews were conducted between Jan. 16, 2007, and Jan. 18, 2007.

What's the excuse for the Reagan Building?
