Beckley

[edit]

The GSA's website is a bit confusing, since it refers to both the 1933 and 1999 buildings as the Robert C. Byrd Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse. Here it lists the 1999 building (110 North Heber Street), and here it discusses the 1933 building (400 Neville Street). I can't quite tell when either were named, but perhaps the old building already had the designation, and the new building inherited the name along with all of the federal functions. This seemed to confuse one of the building's photographers, because the NRHP-listed Beckley Courthouse Square Historic District includes the "United States Federal Court Building". Since the district was listed in 1994, however, it could not refer to the newer building. kennethaw88talk 03:35, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Charleston

[edit]

In Charleston, there is a Federal Center at 500 Quarrier Street. This has 5 stories and 20 bays (I think), which is what the FJC page has for the 1961 building, although the existing building is clearly much newer. Further, it is referred to as the old federal courthouse, and they're both on one-way westbound streets. I can't tell if the new building is a renovation or replacement of the old building, but they do seem to be related. kennethaw88talk 04:35, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Based on this, it seems it is the same building. kennethaw88talk 04:42, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
