This lists buildings that once held the title of tallest building in Detroit. For most of Detroit's earlier years the tallest buildings in the city were churches and government buildings with their steeples. The first skyscraper in the city is usually regarded to be the Hammond Building completed in 1889.3 However since the 10-story building did not surpass the steeple of the Fort Street Presbyterian Church it never became a city record holder. The first skyscraper to have the distinction of being Detroit's tallest building was the Ford Building completed in 1909.81
