The United States Post Office and Courthouse, located at 501 Main Street in Knoxville, Tennessee, is an Art Deco structure completed in 1934 to serve dual federal functions. Designed by the Baumann family architects, the building showcases characteristic Art Deco and Moderne elements and is distinguished by its cladding of Tennessee marble. Originally constructed to house both a post office and federal courthouse, it retains its postal operations as a branch post office today, though the court section has since been repurposed for state judicial use. The building's architectural and political significance earned it listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
