About

Driving down North Main Street in Ann Arbor, Michigan, one may be surprised to spot a metal pineapple sitting atop the roof of the Liberty Title real estate company. Pineapples were a symbol of hospitality in early America. The owners of the Liberty Title building have said they had this welcoming spirit in mind when they placed a metal pineapple on the roof of their building to welcome people to Ann Arbor.

Update: As of June 2024 the pineapple has been removed.
