Police Department Roanoke, AL |
![]() |
This building is in use by the Police Department. It has been nicknamed the "Igloo Jail". It appears to be a longer version of the dome style buildings such as this one in Millers Creek, NC. This building was installed in 2006 but I'll include it here in the mid-century modern section anyway for its futuristic-looking design. There are actually five of these structures, closely spaced next to each other, on this lot. The structure is made of Kevlar-reinforced fiberglass and was produced by Domes International. It can withstand winds speeds of more than 200 miles per hour. [map] |
