Richard C. Lee United States Courthouse
Richard C. Lee United States Courthouse, Federal courthouse on Church Street at New Haven Green, United States.
The Richard C. Lee United States Courthouse presents a Classical Revival design with Corinthian columns and carved eagles along its magnificent exterior facade.
Built between 1913 and 1919, this federal structure was saved from demolition in the 1960s through efforts of federal judges and local preservationists.
The building contains inscriptions from a 1639 sermon by Reverend John Davenport, connecting the structure to early New Haven settlement history.

Twenty monolithic Tennessee marble columns stand within the courtroom lobby, featuring original bronze screens and detailed ceiling work from its construction period.
