Description: United States Post Office and Courthouse (1927-29), James A. Wetmore, architect. This impressive limestone building with its two-story Ionic colonnade is one of Madison's finest examples of the neo-classical revival style. Wetmore was Acting Supervising Architect for the Department of the Treasury, and this and similar designs were used in many medium-sized cities across the United States. This building replaced the former post office and courthouse (1870-1929) that was located across the square at E. Mifflin Street and Wisconsin Avenue. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
