United States Post Office and Court House

The four-story limestone courthouse features a granite base, Classical Revival architecture, and decorative entry lobbies with marble staircases throughout the structure.

Built in 1934 during the Great Depression, this federal building resulted from the Public Buildings Act of 1926 and gained National Register status in 1999.

The building represents federal architecture of the 1930s through its streamlined features, reflecting the period's emphasis on simplified governmental design principles.

Located at 101 Barr Street, the courthouse maintains regular business hours while certain areas remain restricted due to ongoing judicial proceedings.

Architects H.A. Churchill and John P. Gillig designed this structure under Louis Simon's supervision, incorporating both postal and judicial functions in one building.
