Could This Multi-Million Dollar Compound Be Idaho’s ‘Ugliest Building’?

Idaho is a beautiful place--from the rolling hills of the prairie, bustling cities like Boise, and some of the best mountain ranges on the entire planet.

If you had to name things that aren't so beautiful in Idaho, what comes to mind?

Trending on TikTok lately is a critique of Idaho that we've heard before...one Idaho building, located in Idaho Falls, is getting ragged on all of the time for being UGLY.

Let's take a look at what many online consider to be the ugliest building in Idaho! 

Do you think it's really that bad? 

The online commentary is rather entertaining:

Other people look to the building as a sign of....home?

Ok, we get it--people don't love the place. What actually goes on in there, though?

If you're unfamiliar with Melaleuca, many claim it's a "pyramid scheme" that operates as a mulit-level marketing company. It has been wildly successful over the years (hence the expensive and massive headquarters) and is owned by Idaho's richest man--Frank VanderSloot. The building has it all-- four levels of office space, a fitness center, a restaurant, 1,700 seat event center, broadcast rooms and laboratories.

Next time you're in Idaho Falls, take a drive by (or don't) and let us know what you think.

Take a look at the owner, Frank VenderSloot! 

Why couldn't they have designed the Melaleuca Headquarters to look a little bit more like this amazing place in Boise!?
