The Wells Fargo Building is a historic office building in downtown Portland, Oregon, United States. The large doorstep at the building's entryway required the largest slab of granite ever shipped to Portland at the time.[4] Completed in 1907, the steel-framed building is considered the city's first true skyscraper. At 12 stories and with a height of {{convert|182|ft|m}},[5] it was the tallest building in Portland[2][3] (and indeed in all of Oregon),{{citation needed|date=May 2014}} exclusive of towers,[5] and remained so for four years. The clock tower of the 1892-completed Oregonian Building, which measured {{convert|194|ft|m}} in height, made that building the tallest in the city overall.[5]

In 1946,[6] the building was purchased by the United States National Bank of Portland, whose headquarters was located in a smaller building located directly adjacent, immediately to the south. U.S. National Bank used the Wells Fargo Building to expand its downtown Portland headquarters.[7]

In 1986, the building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.[8]
