Not every government building is considered a work of art. Some are considered downright hideous or confusing.

New Jersey Real Estate Network recently surveyed over 3,000 respondents to determine the 100 "ugliest" public buildings in the country, with two Florida buildings making the top 25.

What is the 'ugliest' public building in America?

Michigan's City of Flint Municipal Center was unfortunately crowned the "ugliest" public building in the entire country.

"This municipal hub is all about business, with a straightforward layout and an exterior that leans heavily into concrete and brick. It gets high marks for durability, but stylistically, it’s stuck in an era where civic buildings weren’t expected to be welcoming — just solid," the survey wrote.

The center is a complex of seven government office buildings located at 1101 Saginaw Street in Flint. According to the National Register of Historic Places, the parts of the complex were built in the 1950s and designed by H. E. Beyster & Associates and A. Charles Jones and Associates.
