Penobscot Annex, Detroit, Michigan - LEGO Model

My rendition of the Penobscot Annex in LEGO. The prototype, designed by Donaldson and Meier, was completed in 1913. It was the second tallest building in Detroit after the Dime Building until the mid 1920s. The LEGO model is 5.4 feet (1.66 meters) high and weighs about 90 pounds. The Penobscot Annex is my fourth tallest LEGO building (Fisher, David Stott, and Penobscot Building [1928] are taller).

 

The smaller structure to the left is the Savoyard Center (formerly the People's State Bank). I will display the entire Penobscot Block at the Midland Center for the Arts during their "Art of the Brick" exhibit this summer.
