Interesting item for sure. But the first USA mosque? Not to be picky, but
it appears to me that the building shown was recently built. Like in the
past 20 years. Note the roof. Not the style of roofing used some hundred
years ago. Specially not in Ross ND. The brick on the side looks like it
hasn't seen any weathering for a hundred years old. I would suspect someone
replaced the original building with this newer version sometime since the
mid sixties or so.

Next time read the article instead of looking at the pictures
and making up a story.

From the article:
"Ross is home to the first mosque that was ever built in the
United States."

"It was later demolished in the 1970s but there’s a Muslim
cemetery nearby where many of the original community members are
buried. In 2005, a new mosque was built on the same land as the
original mosque."

In theory, theory and practice are the same.
In practice they are not.

That is according to the article. Other sources state the first mosques
were built in maine and connecticut between 1900 and 1920.

It has been shown that you drew erroneous conclusions based on
the article in question. Delving into fact checking research
does not change the situation. You analyzed the pictures not the
text of the article.
