PNC Plaza

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

PNC Plaza is a skyscraper in Downtown, Louisville, Kentucky and located at 500 West Jefferson Street. The 30-story, 420-foot high structure was designed by architect Welton Becket and was completed in 1971. A notable feature of the building is the pattern of precast concrete panels on the exterior of its windows. The building, originally named Citizens Fidelity Plaza, was named after Citizens Fidelity Bank and renamed PNC Plaza when Citizens Fidelity was aquired by PNC Bank.

PNC Plaza became the tallest building in the state of Kentucky in 1971, but lost that distinction a year later when National City Tower was completed in 1972.
