The US Bank Plaza is a high-rise building located in Boise, Idaho, formerly the tallest building in the state. Completed in 1978 and renovated in 2004, it rises spanning 19 floors. It was the tallest building in the state for over thirty years, until recently surpassed by the Boise Airport Air Traffic Control Tower.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Layton Construction Co., Inc. )〕 Originally "Idaho First Plaza," the building was the headquarters of the Idaho First National Bank, which was founded in 1867. Built by EmKay Development and Realty Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Boise-based Morrison-Knudsen Co., it opened in September 1978. Following acquisitions in neighboring states, IFNB changed its name to West One Bank in 1989, and was acquired by U.S. Bank of Portland in 1995.〔(answers.com ) - West One Bancorp. - accessed 2009-09-25〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=funding universe.com )〕 In 2000, the building was purchased by the property development firm Unico. The condensed address of the building is 101 S. Capitol Blvd. Boise, ID 83702. The building does not have a 13th floor. The floors are numbered one through twenty and skips thirteen.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=KTVB.com )〕 The reason for leaving out thirteen is because of the superstition of the number thirteen. According to records once kept by the Otis Elevator Company, at one point 85 percent of the world's skyscrapers didn't have a 13th floor. ==See also== * List of tallest buildings by U.S. state * List of tallest buildings in Boise * Boise, Idaho 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「U.S. Bank Plaza (Boise)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
