United States Federal Building and Courthouse
United States Federal Building and Courthouse, Federal courthouse in Anchorage, United States
The United States Federal Building and Courthouse stands as a concrete structure with a flat roof, ceramic tiles, and an original federal district courtroom.
Built between 1939 and 1941, this federal building represented the first major government facility in Anchorage, twenty years before Alaska gained statehood.
The courthouse interior features an oil canvas mural titled Alaskan Landscape alongside stained walnut wainscot and benches in the main courtroom.
The building maintains active federal court operations while offering public access to legal proceedings through scheduled hearings and administrative services.
During the 1958 statehood celebrations, the entire building facade disappeared under an enormous American flag marking Alaska's entry into the Union.
