The Consolidated Building is a 15-story building at 115 North Pennsylvania Street in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. It was constructed as an annex to the neighboring Lemcke Building and was known as the Lemcke Annex. [1] For a number of years the building housed the headquarters of the Consolidated Insurance Company. From about 1995 it sat mostly vacant because the owner ran into financial difficulties. [2]

In 2014 the building was sold and renovation to apartments was begun. [3] In May 2015 the building reopened as the Penn Street Tower, with 98 apartments on 14 floors. The first floor will be used for retail and office space. The total cost of the acquisition and renovation was about $14 million. [2]

The United Way Community Services Building is a high-rise office building completed in 1895 at 1212 Griswold Street, at the northeast corner of State Street, in the Capitol Park Historic District of downtown Detroit, Michigan. The 48.77 m (160.0 ft) 12-story building was designed by architects Spier & Rohns and was the tallest in the state when built. The lower two floors are faced with a brown rusticated stone with the main entry centered on the south façade and framed by four square pilasters of gray granite. Floors three through five are smooth stone and floors six through twelve are tan brick. The structure originally had an elaborate cornice surrounding the twelfth floor which was removed in the 1950s. The light court which extended from the fifth to twelfth floor above the entry was filled in 1988 and faced with glass and a gabled glass roof to provide additional office space.
