The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago Detroit Branch Building is a bank building located at 160 W. Fort Street in Detroit, Michigan.

The building was constructed in 1927 in a Classical Revival style.

In 1951, an eight-story glass-and-marble annex, designed by Minoru Yamasaki, was added to the building. [Eric J. Hill, John Gallagher, American Institute of Architects Detroit Chapter,] "AIA Detroit ," Wayne State University Press, 2002, ISBN 0814331203, 9780814331200, p. 90] The Modern annex is clearly designed not to mimic the original building, but to make a statement all its own.

In 2004, the Federal Reserve Bank moved to a new building on Warren Avenue, leaving the building on Fort empty.
