Description: |
Seen here is the United States Courthouse and Post Office soon after its construction in 1905. Designed by Rankin & Kellogg Architects of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania it is an example of the Classical Revival style of architecture that was popular for public buildings at that time. It has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1974. The building is now called Birch Bayh Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse and is located at 46 East Ohio Street. The original nitrate negative was copied with funds provided by a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission in 1990. This digital image was created from that copy. The copy prints and negatives are stored in Microfiche Number order. Interpositives are stored in PAN number order. |
