Three Wells Fargo Center is a 4500NaN0 high rise in Charlotte, North Carolina.[1] Completed in 2000, the building consists of 32 floors with 890000square feet of office space; it also includes an underground parking garage, an attached 10-story low-rise known as the Ratcliffe on the Green, and connects to Two Wells Fargo Center via skybridge, as part of the Overstreet Mall.
Prior to the First Union-Wachovia merger, this building was called Three First Union Center.[3] [4] In December 2010, as a result of Wells Fargo's 2008 purchase of Wachovia, the building was renamed from Three Wachovia Center to Three Wells Fargo Center.[5]
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.[6] 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.[7] In 2022, the facility the museum was housed at was donated to the Levine Museum of the New South.[8]
