Penobscot Building Annex, Commercial skyscraper in Downtown Detroit, US
The Penobscot Building Annex reaches a height of 94 meters with its 23 floors, featuring grey granite on the lower section and terra cotta on the upper levels.
In 1916, architectural firm Donaldson and Meier completed this structure as part of the larger Penobscot complex, marking a significant phase in Detroit's urban development.
The building incorporates Renaissance design elements, including broad triple windows in the lower section and paired double-hung windows in the upper portion.
The structure contains six elevators and provides retail spaces on the ground floor, with shops flanking the entrance and additional commercial areas in the interior.
A decorative terra cotta band with blind reliefs creates a visual separation between the top four stories and the rest of the building's facade.
