Historic name: American National Bank of Amarillo and Southwestern Public Service Tower (built 1971)

About This Property

The American National Bank of Amarillo and SPS Tower was built as the bank’s headquarters, and was designed by architects Kelley Marshall and Associates of Tulsa with associate architect Arthur Vaughan. The 31-story tower-on-podium building was Amarillo’s first skyscraper and remains the tallest building in the Texas Panhandle. Designed in 1968 and opened in 1971, the building housed the regional utility company, Southwestern Public Service Company, with the American National Bank of Amarillo as an anchor ground floor tenant. The result of private investment and public support, the New Formalist style building became a symbol of the city’s post-war development, economic stability, and a commitment to maintaining its position as a regional service center. As the largest building in the city, it became the visual focal point of downtown as well as the center for business, helping to encourage local development after the closing of the Air Force Base in 1964.
