The United States Post Office and Courthouse in Augusta, Georgia is a U-shaped Italian Renaissance Revival structure built during 1915–16 under the design of U.S. Supervising Architect Oscar Wenderoth. The building features creamy marble walls and a red mission tile roof characteristic of the style. A rear extension was added in 1936, followed by interior modernizations in 1960 and 1971. The courthouse underwent extensive rehabilitation from 1992 to 1996 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000, recognized both as an architectural exemplar of Italian Renaissance Revival and as a historical symbol of Federal government presence in Augusta.
