At 428 feet, the Industrial National Bank Building in downtown Providence, Rhode Island, is the tallest building in the city and the state. The official address, located on the southeast side of the building, is within the main artery of the city's Financial District, but the most expansive and unobstructed views of the building's glory are from the northwest in and beyond Kennedy Plaza.
Commonly referred to as the "Superman Building" by locals, since it looks like the Daily Planet from the Superman comics, it in fact was not the inspiration for the newspaper's home as seen in the 1950's television show. However, it is featured in the fictional City of Quahog skyline for the animated adult sitcom Family Guy.
As of this posting, the entire building has been vacant since 2013.
