Penobscot Building

The The Penobscot building is named after a Native American tribe from New England. The building was built in 1928 and designed by architect Wirt C. Rowland. There are actually three buildings built all at different times, giving it the art Deco look that it has. The first building was built in 1905, and the other parts were build in 1916. The Penosbscot building has been up for over 80 years, but has had some negative feelings toward it because its thought to have Swastika's all over the building, but those attitudes have been changed because the "so called" Swastikas are only a motif from the Native American's.
