** Over time the term has come to stand for any graffiti oriented building (or buildings) that has become an epicenter for graffiti in an area. The original "Penit" was the graffiti warehouse located in Doral, Florida. It was theorized that the building was intended to be a Penitentiary, but was never completed, so it was referred to as "The Penit". .
