A lot of North Dakota’s buildings are pretty standard. Many old farmhouses were ordered out of a catalog and delivered in parts by rail, back when you could do that. There are some unique buildings found hidden across the prairie, however. There is a small house that is over a century old just outside of a tiny, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it town – and it’s something special. If you get the chance, you should visit this unusual round house in North Dakota, and here’s why:
For a moment, imagine you're an early settler heading west through the plains, looking for a place to stake your claim and start a livelihood...
You're invited to a small house by a local realtor to start looking at land, and at this special house, perched on a hill, all you can see around it is miles and miles of prairie hills.
This is the Hurd Round House, also called the Hurdsfield Round House, and you can see right off the bat that it's something special. The unique round roof and porch surround an otherwise normal square house, offering panoramic views of the beautiful, seemingly endless grasslands.

The house is located just outside of Hurdsfield, North Dakota.
He built the house in 1900 and knew what he was doing when he did. It's hard to not be impressed and see yourself farming these beautiful lands when you have such a magnificent view.
The house is still standing and well-preserved today.
The Hurd Round House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, and you can still visit it today and see the impressive views for yourself, as well as the inside of this unusual structure.
There's certainly no other house quite like it in North Dakota.
