About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached Wells Fargo's downtown branch, he swore he heard soft laughter echoing from inside the empty building. Curious but cautious, he peered through the glass doors and saw nothing but shadows dancing across the walls. Suddenly, an old cash register chimed softly, startling him. He looked around again—and there stood an elderly gentleman in a suit, smiling warmly. ‘Just testing my new voice,’ said the ghostly figure with a twinkle in his eye. The delivery driver laughed nervously, then realized it was just the bank’s security robot welcoming him back.

2. A neighbor was watering her garden late in the afternoon when she noticed something odd. A small bird kept flying into Wells Fargo’s open door and then promptly exiting through another window. She watched curiously for a while until a delivery driver came inside. The bird followed him like an excited puppy, zipping between his legs as he walked out. The next day, everyone in town knew that Wells Fargo had hired its newest security guard—a tiny but determined canary.

3. Early one morning, before sunrise, a janitor was cleaning the lobby of Wells Fargo’s historic branch. As he swept past an old safe, it suddenly emitted a soft hum and began glowing faintly. Curious, the janitor peered closer and noticed an ancient key slot glowing softly too. He stuck in his janitorial key, turned it slowly—click—and the heavy door swung open with a whoosh. Inside lay a pile of dusty old coins. ‘Finally,’ he thought, ‘my lucky day!’ But as he reached for them, a tiny voice whispered, ‘Not so fast, friend.’ Turning around, he saw only empty air. The next morning, everyone found him still standing there, surrounded by dust, holding nothing but a smile.

4. A teller at Wells Fargo glanced up from her desk and muttered under her breath, ‘Why does every old lady come here on Friday nights?’ An elderly neighbor walked in, clutching a bag of groceries. She smiled warmly and said, 'Good evening, dear. I’ve brought you some fresh cookies.' The teller rolled her eyes but accepted one with a smile, muttering, 'Friday night rituals never change.'
