Also known as the Thurgood Marshall Federal Courthouse, construction began in 1932 and was completed in 1936. It is a prime example of a government building that combines classical monumental architecture with early skyscraper design. The main structure is clad in white Minnesota granite and consists of two parts: a six-story irregular base and a 30-story square tower set back from the base. The building has a clear height of 157 bays, with a facade composed of a series of sandstone blocks and a top section featuring yellow concrete blocks. SCHEME files are provided.
