[XamotCGC]

For Kentucky it has to the Kaden Tower in Lousville.

At least they got Nebraska's right.

At least they got Nebraska's right.

It doesn't seem all that bad to me. Forgettable sure, but not ugly.

I would say the same about pretty much  each of 50 candidates.

Not even close in the case of Arkansas.  Heck, this building isn't even the ugliest in downtown Fayetteville.  I submit 2 buildings within a mile of the one in the article that are far and away uglier.

Humphreys and Yokum Halls

Not my pick, but many folks in West Virginia think that the former Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston is both ugly and creepy looking:

MT--Health Sciences Building, University of Montana (Missoula)

The moment I saw you list this very building for my hometown, I was like "uuuuuuugh, Missoula. What have 'ya done?" But I'm going to add a couple caveats to this entry: The Wren (motel, possibly, or condominiums) - I just don't like icky yellow standing out against the historic buildings along Main Street. Yuck! That piece of junk building sits on what used to be a Days Inn at Main and Pattee Streets. That got torn down for that ugliness Wren building. Next to it was the former Firestone tire shop at around 175 N Pattee St. What happened to it? It, too, got the shovel for...an ugly ass Marriot hotel! Quite frankly, the old Missoula Public Library was just cramped. It was waaaay too small for the overflow of visitors and residents. The new one across from it is far more roomier and has basement level parking.

It is in effect a "second" or an "agreement" with the nomination. Multiple nominations is a common way to express strong support for candidates in awards, elections, and the like.

NJ--American Dreams Meadowlands Mall (East Rutherford)

So, this reveals that list is out of date for NJ.

When the American Dream (not Dreams) mall originally was built, it had a pitiful looking orange and blue facade, in varying hues, that many compared to a wall of shipping containers.  https://goo.gl/maps/1FPKHGwwubnBzE7UA .  The mall was sold before it ever opened.

When a new company took it over, it was well aware of the complaints regarding the facade.  They gave it a sleeker look of all white, adding a few company names on the facade. https://goo.gl/maps/nkT5k2LW52ZnzLzUA

For all the complaints of the mall, it's not exactly ugly anymore (your opinion may vary).

What would be the ugliest?  Hard for me to say...so I won't.  Trenton certainly has some ugly office buildings, although a few of the worst have been demolished in recent years.

One might reasonably ask why you care if I think its an ugly building, but there is nothing wrong with being pedantic. 
Had I used the term "second" you would have read right on by I suspect.

Motor City Casino is a pretty ugly building I agree but they were wrong saying that there are four casino's in Detroit, there are only three.

I can give a lot of latitude to most building design aesthetics, but when I saw that for the first time this year, I declared it to be the tri-curious offspring between a cruise ship, parking garage, and a boarded-up trailer home.

The Oklahoma casino I mentioned upthread is made up of a parking garage and trailers. (The third component is a gas station, though.)

It must be so ugly that it is actually stylish.

Well yes, using the correct word is important. Saying 'I nominate X' implies X has not yet been mentioned.

I wouldn't really call the Rollins Building along Concord Pike (US 202) north of Wilmington, DE the ugliest building in the state, it just looks like any other skyscraper. It does look a little out of place being in a suburban area as opposed to downtown Wilmington.

Nomination can be duplicated. Ever been in a club where people are nominated for offices? Not uncommon to see multiple nominations as a sign of support.

VA--The Tycoon Office Building (Vienna)

The Markel Building in Richmond is uglier than the Tycon Center. It was literally inspired by a baked potato.

The supposed history of this building:  It was built as a catalyst to extend the city northwestward.  It never happened.  If this was actually true, that would involve bringing the city across the Brandywine River, which is generally a very charming area.

No way the Old State Capitol in BR is the state's ugliest building. It is a historic, distinctive structure with lovely architecture both inside and out.

The real ugliest building in La. is directly adjacent - the Baton Rouge City Hall.
