North Dakota Properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2011:
In Grand Forks, the B’nai Israel Synagogue and Montefiore Cemetery in Grand Forks is an historic property that combines the design of master architect Joseph Bell DeRemer and his firm with the culturally distinct customs and traditions of the Jewish community. The synagogue exemplifies the Art Deco work that DeRemer and his son, Samuel Teel DeRemer, designed in the 1930s while the cemetery is locally distinct for the customs and burial traditions of the Jewish population. It also holds the remains of several prominent citizens. The building’s meticulous care and that of the Montefiore Cemetery demonstrate the commitment of the Jewish community to their faith and to the city of Grand Forks.
Florence Lake School #3 in Burleigh County was originally built as Sterling School #2 in 1917 but was moved to Florence Lake Township in 1937 after the earlier school burned. This small prairie schoolhouse has unusual architectural details that recall the Classical Style.
Green Consolidated School #99, near Valley City in Barnes County, is the best preserved open country consolidated school in North Dakota. The school educated students from 1916 until 1974 and since then has been used as a community center. This school met all of the state standards for education and the building gives clear physical testimony to what those standards were during the time the school operated.
The Lower Souris National Wildlife Refuge Airplane Hangar at J. Clark Salyer National Wildlife Refuge near Upham in McHenry County is a rounded arch, pre-fabricated metal structure manufactured by Butler Manufacturing Company in 1947. The hangar was the only one built at a wildlife refuge in North Dakota and housed the airplane used for conservation management activities throughout the state and in the neighboring states.
Originally designated the Williston High School, this building was constructed in 1930-1931, according to a design by the architectural firm of Joseph Bell DeRemer and his son, Samuel Teel DeRemer. The school is a symmetrical three-story building, constructed of primarily concrete frame structure with a well-detailed brick exterior. The building's architectural style is a somewhat restrained, early version of the Art Deco style, and many of the character-defining Art Deco motifs were detailed in brick. The school embodies an important transition in educational design from the 1920s to the 1930s, with increasing emphasis on a more progressive and structured, "scientific" approach to education and acknowledging the potential of high school education to influence civic values.
The Kegs Drive-In in Grand Forks is made up of two barrel-shaped wooded structures, with a rectangular middle building that serves as the front counter for the drive-in restaurant. Originally built in 1935, each was an individual two story Barrel Root Beer Stand built by William Harry Muzzy. These barrels were built in an eclectic style of roadside buildings that fits within a category called “programmatic architecture.” By 1946, both barrels were moved to this location and became known as The Kegs Drive-In.

The Amphitheater and Fieldstone WPA Features at Valley City Pioneer Park consists of four fieldstone cairns to mark the entrance to Pioneer Park, an amphitheater, and a stone sign. The amphitheater is the only fieldstone amphitheater in the state, and the sign is the word “PIONEER” spelled with stones. All the stone features were built by the WPA in 1937.
Lynch Quarry Site National Historic Landmark was recognized at the highest level offered in the National Register of Historic Places. To become an NHL, a property must be significant on a national level and possess a high degree of integrity. The Lynch Quarry Site in Dunn County is where Knife River Flint was mined for 10,000 years. This workable flint from these quarries was widely traded throughout the continent and was highly desired for its workability.
The Fargo Oak Grove Residential Neighborhood Historic District has a tangible cohesiveness in the scale, density, material character, and landscape treatment that unifies this neighborhood. The Oak Grove residential neighborhood took shape and took on its present architectural character as a range of middle-income houses and related infrastructure from 1895 to 1952. The predominance of working-class, gable-fronted mechanics' cottages and vernacular bungalows is a reflection of consumer tastes during this time period.
