Electronic Caregiver Tower
building in Las Cruces, New Mexico, United States
Electronic Caregiver Tower (formerly Las Cruces Tower, Wells Fargo Tower and First National Bank Tower) is a high-rise building located on 506 Main Street in Las Cruces, New Mexico. It opened in 1962 and was originally planned to be only 7 stories tall. The final height of the tower is 120 ft (37 m) and is 10 stories tall above ground, plus a basement floor below ground. Wells Fargo bought the building in 2001 and renamed it, after acquiring First National Bank's parent company. Healthcare technology company Electronic Caregiver purchased the naming rights to the tower in 2018. The building has 3 elevators (originally Otis, modernized by Dover); there are restrooms on every floor but the lobby and basement. It is the tallest building in Las Cruces and the tallest building in New Mexico outside of Albuquerque. Tenants include Electronic Caregiver, and offices of both the state and federal public defenders.

Why this record matters
The phrase “building in Las Cruces, New Mexico, United States” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 16, 2026.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
