According to Joe Kirk, Wells Fargo’s regional president for New York and Connecticut, “we selected this store because it is closest to the Astor House hotel where Henry Wells and William G. Fargo signed the papers to form Wells Fargo on March 18, 1852.” Kirk continued, “As we converted from Wachovia to Wells Fargo last year, we created and installed murals in many of our retail stores to reinforce our ties to the local community.  We thought it would be especially appropriate to create one for our SoHo store as part of the celebration of our 160th anniversary because it all started right here.” Wells Fargo partnered with local historical societies, museums and libraries to research and design the mural, including the Museum of Chinese in America, the Italian-American Museum, the Museum of the City of New York, New York Public Library, New York City Fire Museum, Lord & Taylor and Otis Elevator, and representatives from most of those organizations participated in the unveiling.
