Providence, the capital of the U.S. state of Rhode Island and the third-largest city in New England, is home to 30 high-rises, 17 of which stand at least 175 feet (53 m) in height. The tallest skyscraper in the city is the Bank of America Building, which rises 26 floors and 428 feet (130 m) in Downtown Providence. The Bank of America Building, nicknamed the "Superman Building" due to its resemblance to the fictional Daily Planet building from the 1950s TV series, Adventures of Superman, is also the tallest building in Rhode Island and the sixth-tallest building in New England outside of Boston.
