    Hey Jeff – It’s nice that you showed a photo of the entry floor with the “Wells” name in script. For those that don’t know, the neat thing about it is that when you look at it, either coming or going, it still says “Wells” – pretty slick. This is definitely one of the “great old bldgs.” downtown. They also have a nice display of memorabilia in the 1st flr lobby/passage area.
