Description
Constructed in 1935-6, this historic Beaux Arts federal building “originally housed the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida, and served it as Tallahassee’s main post office until the early 1970s. In 1979, the courthouse was listed in the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Park Avenue Historic District. The courthouse is now occupied by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the Northern District of Florida.” The lobby continues to house a set of New Deal murals created for the building.
