The Penobscot Building complex, anchored by a 47-story main tower completed in 1928, rises to roughly 565 feet and was one of Detroit's tallest buildings for much of the 20th century. The complex consists of multiple adjoining towers and has served as office space in the city's financial district since its construction. The building's name references the Penobscot people of northeastern North America and reflects an early 20th-century trend of naming commercial buildings after Native tribes.
