The Federal Courthouse against a nearly-summer sky.
I didn't know it was a Federal Courthouse when I took the photo. I was parked on the street kitty-corner waiting for a passenger. Now I feel a bit awkward taking the photo, like it was suspicious! There is no parking allowed on the street right by it. It is a lovely looking building. It was constructed between 1915-1916, and expanded in 1940.
Have a nice weekend.
Old courthouses are so interesting
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful old courthouse. The brickwork certainly adds to the charm!
ReplyDelete...this is a classic. I think the government recycled plans like this all across the country, we have some post offices here that look like cousins of this building.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great building, and it definitely pops against that very blue sky.
ReplyDeleteClassic style. I’ve seen buildings a lot like this in Northern Virginia.
ReplyDeleteIt's a classic early 20th century government building look, isn't it. This must have been popular as I've seen buildings like this in many places. I never tire of it.
ReplyDeleteYes, such a classic building.

I love old buildings.
ReplyDeleteLovely building, beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful old building. In Tulsa we have two federal courthouses for some reason. The big one is a an ugly mid century modern thing. The new one is more of a classical design with some beautiful columns. I've taken a ton of photos of it over the years. Some people on facebook report that back several years ago if the guards caught you taking a photo of it, they made you expose your film back in the day before digital photos.
