- Exterior view of the Penobscot Building at Griswold and Fort streets in Detroit, Michigan, designed by architect, Wirt C. Rowland. "In conceiving the design of the Penobscot Building, Rowland was searching for a new idiom for the skyscraper, its simple limestone mass, H-shaped in plan, rises unbroken to the thirtieth floor, here a series of setbacks ascend in a masterly cubistic composition to the apex, which is terminated by a slender steel aircraft beacon ... emancipated from the shackles of historical style, it was a bold statement in the language of its day," from "The Buildings of Detroit, a History" by W. Hawkins Ferry.
