United States Courthouse, Federal courthouse in downtown Austin, United States.

The United States Courthouse is a four-story steel-and-concrete building clad in cream-colored limestone, with a symmetrical rectangular form, recessed vertical window bays, and a south facade where gray granite steps lead to four bronze doors. A carved eagle with a shield near the peak recreates the Great Seal of the United States, below which "UNITED STATES COURT HOUSE" is inscribed between raised five-pointed stars. The interior features Art Moderne and Art Deco finishes.

The courthouse was designed between 1935 and 1936 by Louis A. Simon, Charles Henry Page, and Kenneth Franzheim, embodying the architectural approach of the Great Depression era. It served as a federal judicial building until 2012, when its functions shifted.

The south entrance carries a carved eagle with a shield near the peak, recreating the Great Seal of the United States, with "UNITED STATES COURT HOUSE" inscribed below and raised five-pointed stars flanking the words. The building has housed the U.S. Marshal's Office and offices used by Lyndon B. Johnson.

The main entry faces south, up gray granite steps to four bronze doors; the carved eagle and the inscription "UNITED STATES COURT HOUSE" sit above them. The probate courts and county clerk's offices moved in during October 2020 after a seventeen-month renovation, and the building was rededicated on November 18, 2020. It stands in downtown Austin, within walking distance of other city-center sites.

The south facade's carved eagle with a shield reproduces the Great Seal of the United States, set near the peak above four bronze doors reached by gray granite steps. Below it, "UNITED STATES COURT HOUSE" is flanked by raised five-pointed stars, and cast-iron spandrels separate the upper windows.
