Hi-Rise Apartments Going up In Williston -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Due to the high price of  land in and around Williston, developers are now putting up high-rise apartments on subdivided parcels.

This Frank Lloyd Wright-designed architectural marvel, dubbed the "Bakken Nest" by Frank's great-grandchildren, is just one example.  This two-bedroom, one bathroom, mother-in-law house, comes with a detached garage (seen to the lower left).

Access is through the cleverly disguised circular elevator, hydraulically powered using natural gas that would otherwise be flared.

The parcel of land, 24 square feet, sold for $55,000.
