Federal Building and United States Courthouse
Federal Building and United States Courthouse, Federal courthouse in Sioux Falls, United States.
The Federal Building and United States Courthouse features rose-colored quartzite walls and Romanesque architectural elements with wide arches and rough-hewn stone finishes.
Built between 1892 and 1895, the courthouse served as a symbol of federal presence during westward expansion, with Senator Richard Pettigrew advocating for local materials.
The building houses the United States District Court for South Dakota, maintaining its role in the federal judicial system since Judge Alonzo Edgerton's appointment.
Located at the intersection of Phillips Avenue and 12th Street, the courthouse occupies an entire city block in downtown Sioux Falls.
The structure underwent two major expansions in 1911 and 1931, adding a third floor and rear wing while preserving the original Romanesque design elements.
