A limestone Art Deco courthouse and federal office building completed in 1932, this Wichita structure was designed by James A. Wetmore and serves as a courthouse for the United States District Court for the District of Kansas. Beyond its judicial function, the building also housed post office and federal office operations. Its Art Deco styling and substantial limestone construction reflect the architectural confidence of early Depression-era federal building programs. Listed on both the National Register of Historic Places and the Register of Historic Kansas Places, it stands as a significant example of interwar civic architecture in Kansas.
