Wachovia Building, Modern skyscraper in Mobile, United States
The Wachovia Building reaches a height of 230 feet with 16 stories and 4 elevators, standing as the seventh tallest building in Mobile.
The construction of this building in 1947 marked the first high-rise development in Mobile between 1929 and 1965, with an initial cost of 5 million dollars.
The building contained the Waterman Globe, a 12-foot sphere displaying 1940s political boundaries, which now resides at the University of South Alabama Mitchell Center.
The structure continues to function as an office building, with multiple companies occupying different floors accessible through the main entrance on street level.
The building changed names multiple times, from Waterman-Smith to Roberts Building to Commercial Guaranty before becoming the Wachovia Building.
