From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wilson Plaza West is a skyscraper in Corpus Christi, Texas, United States.[1]

The building had originally been constructed as the Nixon building in 1927. It consisted of 12 stories and became a center of business. In 1947 Sam E. Wilson purchased the building. The site includes two barbershops and a mechanic.[2] In 1951 Mr Wilson built a 17-story office tower with a 4-story penthouse.

It was the tallest building in Corpus Christi until 1983, when the Frost Bank Building was completed.
