Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse, Albuquerque

Located in downtown Albuquerque, the Federal Building and United States Courthouse is a historic landmark that was constructed in 1930. Situated on Gold Avenue, it is part of a complex of federal buildings that include the Old Post Office, Dennis Chavez Federal Building, and the Federal Building.

This imposing six-story building features a facade made of limestone and buff-colored terra-cotta tile arranged in a brick pattern with molded inlays. It is crowned by a red tile roof in Mediterranean style and a domed cupola. The Office of the Supervising Architect under James A. Wetmore designed the building.

Inside the lobby of the Federal Building, visitors can find a mural titled The Rebellion of 1680 by Loren Mozley that depicts the Pueblo Revolt. On the sixth floor, outside the District Courtroom, Emil Bisttram's Justice Tempered with Mercy adorns the wall. This courtroom was historically significant and used by the U.S. District Court until 1965 when it relocated to the Dennis Chavez Building. The courtroom was restored to its original appearance in 1981.

In 1980, the Federal Building was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
