The First National Building is an office tower in downtown Detroit, Michigan. Completed in 1930, the structure rises 28 stories (26 above-ground floors with two basement floors), and occupies an entire block along Cadillac Square (adjacent to Campus Martius Park). The tower's main uses are for offices and retail. It was constructed primarily with limestone. The building was designed by Albert Kahn in the Neoclassical architectural style. It has an unusual "Z" shape, designed so that most offices would have natural light and ventilation. The building is located across the streets from Cadillac Tower and Comerica Tower, and stands next to the Vinton Building. It is 341 feet (104 m) tall.
