Located in Sioux City, Iowa, the Federal Building and United States Courthouse is a three-story stone structure completed in 1933 that exemplifies the Stripped Classicism and Art Deco styles of the early Depression era. Designed by the local firm Beuttler & Arnold with oversight from Des Moines–based Proudfoot, Rawson, Souers & Thomas, the building was constructed beginning in 1932 under Acting Supervising Architect of the Treasury James A. Wetmore and dedicated on December 29, 1933. Originally housing federal offices and courts, it replaced an earlier combined city hall, post office, and courthouse. The post office relocated in 1984, freeing space for expanded courtroom and office facilities; subsequent renovations from 1999 to 2000 added a third courtroom, judge's chamber, jury deliberation room, library, and holding cell. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
