The courthouse was constructed between 1913-1919 as the city’s second federal building. Designed by New York architect James Gamble Rogers, it was the last federal building to be contracted to a private firm under the provisions of the Tarsney Act. It is a handsome example of the Beaux Arts style favored by Supervising Architect of the Treasury James Knox Taylor. Initiated in the final year of his term, it remains a remarkably intact monument to Taylor’s espousal of the symbolic value of federal buildings as lasting monuments to democracy.
