The Erie Federal Courthouse and Post Office in Erie, Pennsylvania is a Streamline Moderne courthouse complex designed by R. Stanley-Brown and completed in 1937. The main courthouse building originally served as a combined courthouse, post office, and government office building, and continues to house the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993, the complex was significantly expanded in the late 1980s when the General Services Administration undertook adaptive reuse and rehabilitation of two adjacent historic structures—the Main Library and the Isaac Baker & Son Clothing Store—along with new additions to meet increased federal court space requirements. The resulting ensemble blends buildings of varying architectural styles into a unified federal complex.
