The Superman Building, also known as the Industrial Trust Tower, is a skyscraper located in downtown Providence, Rhode Island. It is the tallest building in the city and one of the most iconic landmarks in the state.
The building was completed in 1928 and was originally the headquarters of the Industrial Trust Company, a local bank. It was designed by the architectural firm of Jackson & Rosencrans in the Art Deco style, featuring a distinctive green terracotta facade.
The building is 428 feet tall and has 26 floors, making it the tallest building in Rhode Island. It was once the tallest building in all of New England outside of Boston.
The nickname "Superman Building" comes from its resemblance to the Daily Planet building from the Superman comic books and films. The building has been featured in various movies and TV shows over the years.
In recent years, the Superman Building has faced challenges, including a lack of maintenance and deferred repairs. It has been vacant since 2013 when its last tenant, Bank of America, moved out. There have been proposals to renovate and redevelop the building, but as of now, its future remains uncertain.
