The Penobscot Block is a complex of office towers centered on the 45-story Penobscot Building at the corner of Griswold Street and West Fort Street in Downtown Detroit, Michigan. The buildings on the block are named for the Penobscot, a Native American tribe from Maine.

3. Penobscot Building Annex (1922, southwest corner, along Shelby Street and West Congress Street).
