Wells Fargo Center, located at 1300 SW
5th Avenue in Portland, is the tallest building in Oregon. The
modernist skyscraper is made of steel with and features an exquisite Italian
marble façade. It stands 546 feet tall and has 41 floors.
The tower was constructed from 1969 to 1972, with estimated
building costs totaling $35 million. It was originally known as First National
Bank Tower, then later First Interstate Bank Tower. It has been called the
Wells Fargo Center since the late 1990’s.
The tower is used mainly as a commercial office building,
but it does contain a few shops. It connects via skybridge to a smaller data
processing building. The tower will not be surpassed as the tallest building in
Portland for some time, because after its construction, the city imposed strict
height restrictions on new developments. Wells Fargo Center was remodeled in
2002 with a lift-crane that was constructed on top of the building.
