World’s Largest Basket, Newark, OH
How many people get to say they wake up each morning and head to work in a giant basket? Five hundred, to be exact. The Longaberger Basket Company’s seven-story corporate headquarters is a brick-and-mortar replica of the company’s popular Medium Market Basket—just 160 times longer, wider and taller. The building’s basket handles are heated to prevent ice from forming in the winter. —Jessica Adamiak
