Daniel Patrick Moynihan United States Courthouse, Federal courthouse in Lower Manhattan, United States.
The Daniel Patrick Moynihan United States Courthouse is a federal court building in Lower Manhattan housing multiple courtrooms and judicial offices across 27 floors. The structure rises at 500 Pearl Street with an exterior of granite and marble that reflects its scale and formality.
The courthouse opened in 1996 as part of a major development project in the Foley Square district. This establishment marked a significant expansion of federal judicial capacity in the region.
The building contains public artworks that visitors encounter while moving through its spaces, adding layers to the experience of a working courthouse. These installations reflect how the building serves not just as a legal venue but also as a civic gathering place.
The Worth Street entrance provides faster access to the building than using Pearl Street. Visitors should plan for security screening that requires checking cell phones and metal items.
From 2006 to 2013, an appeals court temporarily operated from this building during renovations at its original home. This period showed how the building could serve critical functions beyond its initial design.
