Wedge International Tower is a Downtown Houston skyscraper erected in
the early 1980s that stands 500+ feet tall. The brownish-colored high-rise –
previously named Southwest Bank of Texas Building, is located on Louisiana
Street and features a restaurant on the top floor with skyline vistas more stunning
that those from the Spindletop at the Hyatt, which also offers dining high
above street-level, but does not rise above the surrounding office towers. See 43rd Restaurant and Lounge. Wedge
International tower has design similarities with the Bank of America Plaza
skyscraper in Downtown Dallas. Like the latter, it is fitted with lighting along
the edged, which it more appealing addition to the Downtown Houston skyline at night.
Nearby skyscrapers at the Chevron Office Towers and the Exxon (formerly Humble Oil Co) Building, which has recently been sold to new owners, but remains
occupied by Exxon.
