Wells Fargo Tower

Wells Fargo Tower is an office building in downtown Fort Worth with an unusual spiral form created by multiple offset arms arranged like a pinwheel. The 33 stories rise about 477 feet and create a distinctive silhouette that stands out among other high-rises in the city.

The building was completed in 1982 and replaced a former appliance store that had occupied the site. It emerged during a period when Fort Worth was modernizing its downtown and adding several new high-rises.

The building displays modern architectural principles through its carved base areas and varying arm heights, reflecting Paul Rudolph's design philosophy.

The building sits in downtown along Main Street and is walkable from other business districts. Access is best during weekday business hours, since this is primarily an office building.

The building participates in bird protection by dimming its lights during migration seasons. This initiative helps prevent migrating birds from becoming disoriented by the city's artificial lighting.
