Byron White United States Courthouse

Byron White United States Courthouse is a four-story Neoclassical building that occupies an entire city block and features sixteen Ionic columns clad in Colorado Yule marble at its main entrance. The structure currently serves as the seat of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.

The building was designed after winning a competition in 1910 and initially functioned as both a post office and courthouse. A major renovation in the 1990s transformed it into its current role as a dedicated federal appeals courthouse.

Stone sculptures of Rocky Mountain sheep by artist Gladys Caldwell Fisher decorate the building, along with murals depicting labor and justice themes. These artworks reflect the values the institution was meant to represent when it first opened to the public.

The courthouse is located on Stout Street in the Ballpark District and can be viewed from the exterior to appreciate its architectural details and art installations. The area is easily accessible by public transportation and offers good walking access to nearby downtown neighborhoods.

The building's facade incorporates Colorado Yule marble, the same stone used in the construction of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. This material connection links the two monuments across the country in an unexpected way.
