Wells Fargo Center, Bank tower in downtown Denver, United States
Description
Wells Fargo Center is a bank tower in downtown Denver with 52 floors of granite and glass construction. The structure houses extensive office spaces and connects through an elevated walkway to the adjacent Mile High Center.
History
The building was completed in 1983 by architect Philip Johnson and brought modern design elements to Denver's financial district. Its architecture grew from concepts originally developed for a project in Texas.
