Cha-Ching! Denver, CO Rings Up One Cool Tower!

Nicknamed the "cash register" for its unique, curved crown, the Wells Fargo Center in Denver, CO is by far the coolest building in the Mile High City. Rising above I.M. Pei's Mile High Center, the Wells Fargo Center is the most distinctive part of the Denver skyline.

The building is 52 stories tall and was designed by renowned architect Philip Johnson.

Here's a bit of trivia for you: the building was originally desinged to be built at a location in Texas and once built in Denver, heating coils had to be added to the roof to melt snow, otherwise, a veritable avalanche of snow would slide from the curved roof onto the ground 52 stories below!!!
