E. Ross Adair Federal Building and United States Courthouse
E. Ross Adair Federal Building and United States Courthouse, Federal courthouse in Fort Wayne, United States.
The gray limestone building features Art Deco elements with a granite base and decorative columns displaying leaf patterns and eagle motifs throughout the exterior.
Construction of the federal building began in 1931 following the Public Buildings Act of 1926, which allocated resources for establishing federal facilities across the country.
The interior spaces include contrasting marble floors in the entry vestibule and a district courtroom decorated with dark green marble bases and ornate ceiling designs.
The federal building operates Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., housing courts, U.S. Probation offices, and various federal administrative departments.
The plaza incorporates granite steps leading to a landing with carved stone benches that display zodiac signs and a central flagpole arrangement.
