Description
Now known as the Gene Snyder U.S. Courthouse and Custom House, the historic United States Post Office, Court House and Custom House in Louisville, Kentucky was constructed in 1931-2, before the advent of the New Deal. However, in “1936, with a growing need for more offices and courtrooms, the PWA also funded the addition of the sixth floor.”
