Decorative pavers lead pedestrians to the Building’s imposing four-story entrance archway on Griswold Street. Sweeping bronze and glass revolving doors open to the impressive lobby. The Building’s one-of-a-kind decorative friezes and carvings have been carefully preserved. Many of these museum-quality decorations, sculptured in granite, recall the Penobscot Indians for whom the structure is named.
