Superman Building - going on 8 years vacant PHOTO: GoLocal Rhode Island’s tallest building -- the Industrial Bank Building or better known as the Superman building -- enters its eighth year of vacancy in 2021. In 2019, it was named one of "America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places" by the National Trust for Historic Preservation in its annual list. “From the National Mall Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C. to one of Chicago’s best examples of Post-Modern architecture to the vast, largely unprotected cultural artifacts in the Ancestral Places of Southeast Utah, this year’s list reflects both the diversity of America’s historic places and the variety of threats they face. As it has over the past three decades, we know that this year’s list will inspire people to speak out for the cherished places in their own communities that define our nation’s past," said Katherine Malone-France, the then chief preservation officer of the organization.
