Federal Building and United States Courthouse
Federal Building and United States Courthouse, Government building and courthouse in Wheeling, United States.
The Federal Building and United States Courthouse features granite exterior walls, symmetrical facades, grand columns, terrazzo flooring, and marble interior details.
Built between 1905 and 1907 under the Tarsney Act, the structure replaced an insufficient Custom House and received additional extensions in 1938 and 2004.
The building represents the Beaux-Arts architectural movement of the early 20th century, emphasizing classical elements to express governmental authority and stability.
Located at 1125 Chapline Street, the building serves as a courthouse for the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia.
The structure's location initially faced criticism for being distant from downtown, yet its construction influenced the city's development toward the northern area.
