It was built to house facilities of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama, the United States Post Office and other federal agencies. In 1952 a plain one-story addition was added in the rear of the building, and in 1962 the post office moved to a new facility. ^{[2] [3]} The building is still used as a courthouse.
