Estes Kefauver Federal Building and United States Courthouse
Estes Kefauver Federal Building and United States Courthouse, Federal courthouse in downtown Nashville, United States.
The nine-story federal building features modern architecture with classical design elements, housing multiple courtrooms and federal offices at 801 Broadway.
The federal courthouse, completed in 1952 by architectural firm Marr & Holman, hosted significant legal proceedings including the trials of Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa.
The building bears the name of Senator Estes Kefauver, who served from 1949 to 1963 and advocated for civil rights for African Americans.
Federal agencies continue to operate within the building, while court functions have moved to the new Fred Thompson Federal Courthouse in 2022.
The General Services Administration plans to sell this National Register of Historic Places building, raising questions about its preservation and future use.
