44 Montgomery, Office skyscraper in the Financial District, San Francisco, United States
44 Montgomery is a 43-story office skyscraper rising 172 m (564 ft) in San Francisco's Financial District, designed by John Graham & Company and completed in 1967 for Wells Fargo Bank. Its pale gray facade is covered in closely spaced vertical fins running the full height, with darker slots recessed between them.
The building was completed in 1967 by architect John Graham & Company as the tallest structure west of Dallas. Its dominance lasted just two years until 555 California Street surpassed it in 1969.
The tower was designed, built and dedicated for Wells Fargo Bank, whose IT subsidiary was once based here; the bank's own headquarters stayed at 464 California Street. Tenants today include the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the law firm Locke Lord and Northwestern University. The address gives the building its name, and its lower levels connect to the Montgomery Street BART platforms.
The building sits directly above Montgomery Street Station with convenient access to BART trains. Its position in the Financial District makes it easy to reach by public transportation.
The building's design anticipated the Bay Area Rapid Transit subway then under construction, and it has direct underground access to Montgomery Street Station. Wells Fargo's IT subsidiary was once based here; the bank's headquarters were at 464 California Street.
