On the National Register of Historic Places, this beautiful art-deco building was erected built in 1936 the Public Works Administration (PWA). The building has a unique design among the Nashville firm of Marr and Holman’s PWA courthouses due to its use of buff-colored glazed brick as the main exterior material and its cruciform plan. Located at the center of the cruciform, in the first floor rotunda, is an inlaid terrazzo map of the country, showing its towns and transportation systems. The rotunda ceiling has coffered panels surrounding a ceiling medallion set within a central concave area.
