Wells Fargo Tower, Office tower in Downtown Roanoke, United States.
Wells Fargo Tower is a 21-story office building with a distinctive copper pyramid crowned by a tall spire at the top. The structure stands in downtown Roanoke and contains significant office space for tenants.
The building was completed in 1991 under the name Dominion Tower, then received new names as different financial companies took ownership of the structure. It became Wells Fargo Tower in 2011 when the current owner took control.
The tower is instantly recognizable to residents and serves as a visual landmark in the city's core. Its copper top glows at night and helps people navigate the downtown area by sight.
The building sits centrally on Jefferson Street, making it easy to reach and within walking distance of other shops and restaurants. Visitors can appreciate the structure from outside, though the interior functions as office space.
The building skips the 13th floor in its numbering sequence, a quirk tied to superstition about the number. This practice appears in many tall buildings, making this structure an interesting oddity to notice.
