Wells Fargo Building, Renaissance Revival bank building in downtown Portland, United States

The Wells Fargo Building rises 12 stories above SW 5th Avenue, featuring white Italian marble throughout its interior and a granite doorstep entrance.

Completed in 1907 as Portland's first skyscraper, the structure maintained its position as Oregon's tallest building for four years after construction.

The building lobby contains a museum displaying an 1870 stagecoach and exhibits about steamboat transportation on Columbia and Willamette Rivers.

Located at 1300 SW 5th Avenue, the building provides 20,903 square feet of commercial office space in Portland's central business district.

The structure's granite doorstep required the largest single piece of granite ever transported to Portland during the early twentieth century.
