Description
Title supplied by cataloger.
Some buildings captured here have since been demolished. The Crocker Tower and its subsequent twin, the South Tower, were designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and opened in 1983. When Crocker Bank merged with Wells Fargo in February 1986, this structure became the Wells Fargo Tower and the property was renamed the Wells Fargo Plaza.

Visible, from left to right, are the Crocker Center North Tower, the Bunker Hill Tower, Promenade Condominiums (along 1st Street), the Crocker Center South Tower (under construction), the Security Pacific Bank Building and Plaza, the Bank of America Data Center, One Wilshire, the Crocker Bank Tower, the Bunker Hill Towers, the Wells Fargo Tower (later Citigroup Center and FourFortyFour South Flower), the World Trade Center, the Bonaventure Hotel, a building under construction, the Aon Center, ARCO Plaza, Union Bank, 888 6th Street (later Chase Plaza), and various homes and apartment buildings in the foreground.
