Eldon B. Mahon United States Courthouse
Eldon B. Mahon United States Courthouse, Federal courthouse in downtown Fort Worth, US.
The Eldon B. Mahon United States Courthouse is a five-story limestone building in downtown Fort Worth with Art Moderne design and classical elements. Its facade features aluminum grilles and a distinctive zigzag window pattern that runs across the exterior.
Congress approved funds in June 1930 to build this courthouse because federal agencies in Fort Worth needed more space. The structure was completed to house the expanding federal operations in the region.
Three oil paintings by Frank Albert Mechau from 1940 hang on the fourth floor and represent the only New Deal art commission in Fort Worth. These works show how artists were asked to contribute during that era.
The interior is open to visitors but plan for security screenings required at all federal buildings. Visiting during regular weekday business hours offers the best access to public areas and viewing spaces.
Inside, you will find marble surfaces, oak paneling, and bronze details throughout, which reflect federal architecture from the Depression era. The Art Deco light fixtures add to the distinctive character of the building's interior.
