21. World's Largest Basket Building (Newark, Ohio): Woven Wonders

In Newark, Ohio, stands a building that looks exactly like a giant picnic basket – because it once was the headquarters of the Longaberger Company, famous for its handcrafted baskets. This seven-story, 180,000-square-foot architectural marvel is complete with massive handles and oversized "rivets." While no longer owned by the basket company, its quirky design and sheer scale make it an unforgettable roadside sight. It's a playful, larger-than-life tribute to a specific industry, transforming corporate architecture into a whimsical landmark.
