Three Wells Fargo Center is a 450 feet (137 m) tall building in Charlotte, North Carolina. Completed in 2000, the skyscraper has 32 floors and 890,000 square feet (83,000 m2) of office space. It is the 11th tallest building in Charlotte.

Prior to the First Union-Wachovia merger, this building was called Three First Union Center.[1][2]

In December 2010, as a result of Wells Fargo's 2008 purchase of Wachovia, the building was renamed Three Wells Fargo Center.[3]

Museum[]

A branch of the Wells Fargo History Museum was located in the building, until all but one of the bank's thirteen museums were closed to align with corporate strategy. [4] The museum's exhibits included gold mining in North Carolina, a 19th-century stagecoach, and a model of an 1889 Wachovia Bank branch from Winston-Salem.[5]
