Description
Taken in 1970, this photograph shows an unnamed sculpture and fountain done by Norman Grag. Located at the main branch of the Wells Fargo Bank at 500 Capitol Mall, the fountain was an example of the city's requirement that, in any building constructed in the Redevelopment Area, the owner was required to include art equal to about 1 percent of the construction cost. The two million dollar building was itself constructed in 1965 and was designed by local architect Harry Devine. Reaching seven stories high and providing over 100,000 square feet of floor space, it was vacated by Wells Fargo in 1992 in favor of a new 130 million dollar, 30 story structure at 400 Capitol Mall.
