Completed in 1964, the Everett McKinley Dirksen United States Courthouse stands at 219 South Dearborn Street in Chicago's Loop as a 30-story, 384-foot skyscraper designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Named for U.S. Congressman Everett Dirksen, the building serves as home to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, the Bankruptcy Court, and various federal agencies including the U.S. Marshal's office and the Federal Public Defender. The courthouse forms part of van der Rohe's modernist Chicago Federal Center complex, which also comprises Federal Plaza, the U.S. Post Office (Loop Station), and the Kluczynski Federal Building.
