The Hurd Round House was the destination of the day on that fall afternoon. A location I’ve been to once before - in 2008. With mom, dad and my brother. A fun day trip - it was beautiful.
Coming back over ten years later was nice, but a bit sad too, because it just reminded me of mom and that warm summer day years before. Coming back, everything was no longer green, just brown. There was a chill in the air. But the view was still perfect and the house, beautiful. And so full of sunlight.
I’ve always said that this is a version of my dream house. And maybe you’ll see why in these photos.
The house is perched on a hilltop with, what I think, is one of the best views in North Dakota. And that is by design.
From another website: “Warren Hurd was a farmer, merchant, banker, and realtor in Superior, Iowa. Spurred on by the success of bonanza wheat farms in eastern North Dakota, settlers and speculators, including Hurd, brought a boom to Wells County. The building was Hurd’s sales transaction office, located on a ranch that he operated, although he continued to make his permanent home in St. Paul, Minnesota. Prospective land buyers were driven out to the Round House by surrey or spring wagon from Bowdon, the nearest railroad station, and were boarded at the nearby ranch house. Visitors usually stayed for several days to inspect tracts available for purchase or homestead entry. When the Round House was used as a land office, buyers would climb to the second story to view the countryside through telescopes from the dormers. Sales were concluded over drinks and cards in the reception room. The building, which also included two office spaces, continued in use as a land office until 1909.”
“Located high on the eastern slope of a hillside, the Round House was designed and built by Hurd’s brother Elgin, a carpenter and stonemason, who had also studied architecture. The one-and-a-half-story building is not actually round in plan, but derives its name from the circular roof supported by six columns upon a nearly circular porch floor and cut-stone foundation. The flagpole on the circular deck at the top of the roof was raised with the building. Four gabled dormers pierce the roof slopes, three of which contain windows and the other, on the west, originally contained a vertical-board door giving access to the upper story by way of an outside stairway (since removed). In the 1960s, the Wells County Historical Society rescued this intriguing feature of local land speculation from demolition.”
So, as you can read, this place is here because of money and sales. And now it sits quiet and empty but oh so peaceful.
So while the dogs were running around I walked around and took photos. (Spot Lillie!)

Karen invited me to be apart of a round robin book swap, so excited. We each get to pick our own theme. I choose an Alice in Wonderland Theme
I built my book from Masonite, vintage wallpaper, fabrics, trims and I've used my handmade papier mache medallion for the cover.
When the book finally arrives home, I will finish decorating the covers and finish my extra page.
