The State of Michigan Historic Preservation website at (visit link) tells us:

"The First National Bank Building occupies a street corner in the heart of Ann Arbor's central business district. Constructed in the 1927-1930 period the steel frame building consists of a ten-story, tower and subsidiary two and five-story rear sections. The principal facades are clothed in lightly colored terra cotta and exhibit a restrained and elegant, Romanesque, decorative scheme.

The First National Bank Building, built between 1927 and 1930, was the tallest building in Ann Arbor at the time of its construction. Originally built for the first bank in Washtenaw county it has since been used as office and retail space. The steel-frame construction and non-load-bearing exterior walls decorated with terra cotta detailing, have made the building a visual landmark in Ann Arbor."
