Globe Tobacco Building
Globe Tobacco Building, Manufacturing building in Downtown Detroit, United States.
The six-story red brick structure on East Fort Street features large arched windows and pilasters extending from the first to fourth stories.
Globe Tobacco Company, established in 1871, manufactured over 2.5 million pounds of tobacco annually by 1892 in this building constructed in 1888.
The building represents Detroit's industrial heritage as tobacco manufacturing became the city's largest industry during the 1890s, employing thousands of workers.
Following renovations in 2014 by Rock Ventures, the building now serves as office space for technology companies and small businesses.
This structure was reportedly the first factory in the United States to use electricity as a power source for tobacco manufacturing.
