History
The original terminal, a single-story Modernist building, was designed in 1963 by Ritterbush Brothers, a local architectural firm.<ref>United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry Journal 1963: 26.</ref> A two-story addition was constructed in 1982. The original building was demolished in 2003 to make way for the present building, and the addition was demolished in summer of 2005, after the completion of the new $15 million terminal. It was designed by Tvenge Associates, another Bismarck firm, and opened in May 2005.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> A parking lot is just south of the new terminal.
