United States Post Office and Courthouse

The six-story white limestone building occupies an entire city block with classical columns and symmetrical facades spanning 72 meters east to west.

Completed in 1932 under architect James A. Wetmore's supervision, this federal building represents the government's commitment to institutional architecture during the Great Depression.

The courthouse witnessed significant legal proceedings, including Vice President Spiro Agnew's resignation in 1973 and Mayor Sheila Dixon's trial in 2009.

Located at 111 North Calvert Street, the building continues to serve both as an active federal courthouse and a post office for Baltimore residents.

The structure extends two levels below ground, featuring sub-basements that add to its total vertical span of eight floors.
