Jacob Weinberger United States Courthouse, Federal courthouse in downtown San Diego, United States.

The Jacob Weinberger United States Courthouse is a federal courthouse in downtown San Diego with a T-shaped floor plan, limestone base, stucco-covered brick walls, and a prominent Ionic colonnade at the front entrance. The structure displays balanced proportions typical of Classical Revival design.

The building was constructed in 1913 for the Panama-California Exposition and originally functioned as a post office and customs facility for federal operations. Over time its use changed and it eventually became a federal courthouse.

The building reflects both national federal tradition and California regional style in how it looks and feels in the downtown landscape. This blend of two design traditions shaped how the structure appears to visitors walking past.

The courthouse sits in downtown San Diego on F Street and welcomes visitors from Monday through Friday. The location offers easy access and is near other downtown attractions.

During World War I, the courthouse lawn was transformed into a vegetable garden to help feed San Diego during the war. This practical adaptation showed how even public buildings contributed to wartime efforts.
