History

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]
