North Dakota Mosque, Ross, North Dakota
The North Dakota Mosque is less a mosque and more a monument to the Syrian and Lebanese Muslims who once prayed at this remote, windswept, location close to the Canadian border.

They had migrated to the United States in the 19th century from the then Ottoman territory of Greater Syria and built a plain, large, rectangular wood and brick building here around 1929. As much a place of community activity as one of worship, that structure was torn down in 1979, and a small square cinderblock building with four thin faux minarets and a tiny copper dome was erected in 2005.
