Michael J. Dillon Memorial United States Courthouse
Michael J. Dillon Memorial United States Courthouse, Federal courthouse in Buffalo, New York, United States.
The courthouse occupies an irregularly shaped block bounded by Niagara Street, Niagara Square, Court Street, and Franklin Street in downtown Buffalo.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated the building on October 17, 1936, highlighting the federal and local collaboration in creating public works during the Great Depression.
Four original courtrooms feature detailed wood paneling, dark green marble accents, and ornate ceilings that demonstrate 1930s federal architecture design principles.
Following the opening of Robert H. Jackson United States Courthouse in 2012, the building transferred to City of Buffalo ownership in 2016 for one dollar.
The building's pentagonal footprint creates an architectural profile that responds to the irregular shape of its city block in Buffalo's civic center.
Inception: 1936
