An igloo building block mold comprises a shell defining a pair of generally cuboid mold portions. The mold portions are offset from one another in both an upright direction extending between the top and bottom ends of the mold portions and a lateral direction extending between the end walls of each mold portion. A building block formed by the mold, when stacked on a previous row of blocks, permits inter-engagement between the blocks due to a shoulder being formed on each block which engages the corresponding shoulder of a previous block supported therebelow. The offset in the lateral direction permits side edges of each block to be inter-engaged with adjacent blocks as the blocks are placed in the desired position in the igloo structure during construction.
