Wells Fargo Center is a 40-story, 546 ft tower and adjoining five-story office building with three basement parking levels in Portland, Oregon. The tower became the tallest building in the state of Oregon when it was completed in 1972.[5]
History
The building and a connected five-story building were designed by Charles Luckman and Associates. Originally named the First National Bank Tower, the building opened on April 17, 1972,[6] and was formally dedicated on May 25, 1972.[7] At that time, the bank occupied the first 21 floors of the tower and the entire connected, five-story building, which is known as the Data Processing Building.[7] The name was changed to the First Interstate Tower in 1980–81, after Western Bancorporation, the parent of First National Bank of Oregon, changed its name to First Interstate Bancorp.[8]
