Pioneer Courthouse, Federal courthouse in Portland, United States

The Pioneer Courthouse stands three stories tall with a cupola, constructed using Bellingham and Tenino sandstone in the Italianate architectural style.

Completed in 1875, this federal building served as a post office on the first floor and housed the Federal Court on the second floor.

The building underwent a $23.4 million renovation in 2005, including seismic upgrades and improvements to accommodate the United States Court of Appeals.
