The Statue of Liberty would be our Colossus of Rhodes and definitely melted down in a collapse scenario.
Whichever unlucky PNW city that gets buried by one of the dozen or so volcanoes will be our Pompeii.
Miami will be our Baia. The server farms in Utah with all the NSA data will be our library of Alexandria. New Orleans would probably be (the original) Alexandria.
But if I had to pick one equally emblematic American thing that could conceivably last 2k years, it would (unfortunately) be Mt. Rushmore.
