The Wells Fargo Bank Plaza, formerly the '''Allied Bank Plaza''' and '''First Interstate Bank Plaza''', is located in Downtown Houston , Texas . This building is the 11th Tallest Building in the United States , and the Second Tallest Building In Texas and Houston, after Houston's JPMorgan Chase Tower . The building was built at 1000 Louisiana Street in 1983 . 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, this building is 71 stories tall, or 970 feet (296 m) tall. But it extends four more stories below street level, with a subterranean (but open-air) plaza. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINK
