The Wells Fargo Bank Plaza, formerly the Allied Bank Plaza and First Interstate Bank Plaza, is located at 1000 Louisiana Street in downtown Houston, Texas (USA).This building is currently the 13th-tallest Building in the United States, and the second tallest building in Texas and Houston, after Houston's JPMorgan Chase Tower.It was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and Lloyd Jones Brewer and Associates and supposedly resembles an abstracted dollar sign in plan. The shape creates extreme wind stress, twisting the building violently in storms. In 1983 the building lost a large number of windows during Hurricane Alicia.From street level, the building is 992 feet (302 m) tall and contains 71 floors. It extends four more stories below street level.
