About the U.S. Bank Tower
U.S. Bank Tower, a skyscraper 310.3 m (1,018 ft) tall, stands in the Financial District of Los Angeles, California. Locals also call it the Library Tower, and it was formerly the First Interstate Bank World Center. Henry N. Cobb, of Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, designed it, and it cost $350 million to build. Construction began in 1987, and the tower was completed in 1989. It counts among the city's most recognizable buildings and often turns up in establishing shots of Los Angeles in films and television programs.
The tower first took the name Library Tower because it was part of the $1 billion redevelopment around the Los Angeles Central Library, which had suffered two disastrous fires in 1986, and because it stands across the street. To help pay for rebuilding the library, the city sold air rights to the tower's developers. For a time the building carried the First Interstate Bank World Center name. After First Interstate Bancorp's merger with Wells Fargo Bank, the Library Tower name was restored. In March 2003, U.S. Bancorp leased the property, and the building was renamed U.S. Bank Tower.
The tower is topped by a large glass crown that is lit up after dark. On February 28, 2004, two "U.S. Bank" logo signs, each 23 m (75 ft), went onto the crown amid controversy over their look. Its rooftop helipad made the tower the tallest building in the world with one until 2010, when Beijing's China World Trade Center Tower III was completed.
