The Federal Building, formerly the U.S. Post Office, Courthouse and Federal Building, is located in Downtown Sacramento, California. It currently serves as a courthouse for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California.
History
The Federal Building was designed by the local firm Starks and Flanders, who also designed the Elks Tower, the Alhambra Theatre, and the C. K. McClatchy High School.[2] It reflects several early 20th Century Revival architectural styles, including Neoclassical, and especially a simplified Renaissance Revival style from the original French Renaissance architecture era. Construction was completed in 1933.
Uses
The building has served historically as a courthouse, a post office, and a government office building.
It has served the United States District Court for the Northern District of California during 1933-1966 — and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California from 1966–present.
The post office moved to 560 J Street on July 31, 2012.[2]
