Summary

Description
English: Built in 1927-1928, this Art Deco and Romanesque Revival-style skyscraper was designed by Wirt C. Rowland and Smith, Hinchman and Grylls, and was named for the indigenous Penobscot tribe that once inhabited Maine. The building was the tallest in Detroit upon its completion and the eighth-tallest in the world, remaining the tallest building in the city until 1977, at a height of 664 feet (202 meters) and 47 stories. The building features a limestone-clad exterior, arched openings at the base with brass trim at the windows on the lower floors, geometric motifs on the exterior, sculptures of indigenous American people, one-over-one windows, light wells on the front and rear facades, setbacks at the top of the building, arched window bays near the top of the tower, and a large antenna atop the roof. The building is a contributing structure in the Detroit Financial District Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. In 1977, the building was overtaken by the Renaissance Center Hotel Tower, and later by the Comerica Bank Building in 1993, today being Detroit’s third-tallest building. The building today remains in use as an office building.
