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 is located in the building. The museum's exhibits include gold mining in North Carolina, a 19th-century stagecoach, and a model of an 1889 Wachovia Bank branch from Winston-Salem.[4]
