Wells Fargo Center (Jacksonville)
The Wells Fargo Center is a skyscraper in Jacksonville, Florida. Standing tall, it is the city's second-tallest building.〔 It was formerly known as the Independent Life Building and the Modis Building, among other names. It took its current name in 2011, when Wells Fargo acquired the naming rights.〔Bull, Roger (May 20, 2011). ("Wells Fargo name to replace Modis atop landmark building" ). ''The Florida Times-Union''.

==History==
The tower was completed in 1974 by the Independent Life and Accident Insurance Company, and was known as the Independent Life Building.〔〔(Jacksonville University: Geography department-Modis Building )〕 It was designed by KBJ Architects, who received the Honor Award for Outstanding Achievement in Design by the Jacksonville Chapter of the American Institute of Architects for the design.〔〔 The design concept included a sloping base and large corner frames to provide a distinctive image not only for the company, but also as an identifying landmark for the city of Jacksonville.〔
Beginning in 1995 Independent Life was acquired by the American General Life Insurance Company, and operations were gradually moved to Nashville, Tennessee.〔("History of some major insurance companies" ) (February 24, 2003). ''The Florida Times-Union''. Retrieved September 12, 2011.〕〔("The History of American General Life and Accident Insurance Company" ) American International Group website, company history〕 The building was sold to Associated Capital Properties, and the Jacksonville staffing company AccuStaff moved in and acquired the naming rights, and it became the AccuStaff Building.〔Brune-Mathis, Karen: ("AccuStaff pointing to Independent" ) Florida Times-Union, June 20, 1997〕 In 2002, AccuStaff changed its name to MPS Group. It renamed the building the Modis Building, after one of the company's main brands, and added Modis signage.〔 In 2009 MPS Group was acquired by the Swiss firm Adecco Group, which announced the company would relocate to Jacksonville's suburbs.〔 The move was completed in 2011 and the signage was removed, and the building was renamed Independent Square.〔〔http://www.news4jax.com/news/27068751/detail.html〕
In May 2011, Wells Fargo, which had acquired the Wachovia financial services company, announced it would relocate local employees to the building.〔〔 Signage went up on the Wells Fargo Center on September 26 and the relocation completed by April 2012.〔
