Wells Fargo Tower, Postmodern high-rise building in Colorado Springs, United States.
Wells Fargo Tower is a 16-story, 75-meter office building at 90 South Cascade Avenue in Colorado Springs, part of the Palmer Center complex. Its facade is clad in acid-etched concrete made to resemble limestone, and its lobby features vaulted ceilings and a granite floor as a nod to the city's Antlers Hotel.
Planned by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates with Klipp Colussy Jenks Dubois, the tower was completed in 1990 as Norwest Bank Tower. It was renamed Wells Fargo Tower in June 2000 after large portions of the building had been leased to Wells Fargo.
The architectural firms Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates and Klipp Colussy Jenks Dubois designed this building, incorporating postmodern elements into the Colorado Springs skyline.
The tower occupies the Palmer Center complex at 90 South Cascade Avenue in downtown Colorado Springs. Visitors reach it on foot from the surrounding business district; the lobby, with its vaulted ceilings and granite floor, is the interior detail to look for once inside.
The facade is clad in acid-etched concrete made to imitate limestone, and the lobby's vaulted ceilings and granite floor echo the local Antlers Hotel. The building is regarded as an homage to earlier architecture.
