Parke-Davis Research Laboratory, also known as Building 55-Detroit Research, is a building in Detroit, Michigan.
Built in 1902, this was the first industrial research laboratory in the U.S. established for the specific purpose of conducting pharmacological research, inaugurating the commercial pure science approach which has driven the rapid development of pharmaceutical technology.
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976.[1][3] National Park Service staff recommended withdrawal of landmark status in 2002 due to loss of the building's historic integrity during conversion to a hotel.
