2 North Dakota Buildings Labeled As ‘Ugliest’ In America

Even though there are haters and skeptics, those of us who live here know North Dakota is a beautiful state. Just look at the Scandinavian Heritage Park, or the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and how about the endless views along the Missouri River?

North Dakota is full of stunning, picture-perfect backdrops, but some people might look around and find a few things that aren't quite as visually appealing. A survey was done by NewJerseyRealEstateNetwork.com, where 3,000 people were asked to help identify the country's ugliest public buildings.

A list of 100 buildings was put together from the responses, and yep, you guessed it, a couple of North Dakota buildings made the list.

Top 100 Ugliest Buildings in the United States

Over the years, while living here, I've heard several people say that they think the North Dakota Capitol Building is ugly, doesn't fit the landscape, or isn't in the North Dakota style.

There are a lot of strong feelings floating around out there about the look of that building, but surprisingly enough, it wasn't one named on this list.

Coming in as the 48th ugliest building in America is none other than the Minot City Hall

How is this one of the ugliest buildings in the country? I'm sure I speak for many North Dakotans when I say we are shaking our fists in outrage.

The second building that made the "ugliest" list is located in Bismarck.

This isn't ugly! How dare they?!

The Burleigh County District Court building ranked 72 on this list. Clearly, some people need to get glasses.
