Architectural masterpiece |
90 South 6th St Sixth St and Marquette Ave Minneapolis, MN 55414 +1 612 667 9378 |
The 775-foot tower of 52 stories became an immediate attraction on the Minneapolis skyline. With its next door neighbor, the IDS Center, the two magnificent skyscrapers added a certain style and elegance to downtown. The architect graciously stopped short of the IDS, by two feet, allowing that Twin Cities icon to retain its tallest building status. At night floodlights bathe it in a gentle glow that is visible as you enter the city from any direction. The exterior is Kasota sandstone trucked in from Mankato, Minnesota and accented brilliantly with white marble and bronze. The full-block lobby was designed to incorporate certain elaborate elements from its predecessor including lavish chandeliers and rich, ornamental wood railings that made the old Northwestern National Bank unique. Coupled with many other distinctive buildings, the Wells Fargo Tower helps Minneapolis achieve an illustrious maturity among the nation's major urban areas. Review © 2009, Wcities |
