Tomochichi Federal Building and United States Courthouse
Tomochichi Federal Building and United States Courthouse, Federal courthouse at Wright Square, Savannah, United States.
The three-story white marble building features a Renaissance Revival design with Italianate facades and a bell tower rising above Wright Square.
Construction of the federal building began in 1894 on the former site where Methodist founder John Wesley preached during the 1730s.
Congress renamed the building in 2005 to honor Tomochichi, the Yamacraw Indian chief who facilitated relations between English settlers and Creek tribes.
The courthouse undergoes extensive renovations until 2026, with temporary closures affecting access to certain streets in downtown Savannah.
The exterior ornamentation includes carved faces that represent architect Jeremiah O'Rourke and decorative elements depicting flowers and animals in marble.
