Today is the twentieth anniversary of what was then the costliest office building fire in U.S. history. It was Thanksgiving Day, 1982, when a fire destroyed the Northwestern National Bank in downtown Minneapolis. The bank would later change its name to Norwest, and then again to Wells Fargo. Despite the fire, banking customers were able to do their business the next day through branch offices. Joining us on the line is Bob Seeger, the Chief Architect for Wells Fargo Bank, who worked for the bank that night 20 years ago.
