U.S. Post Office and Courthouse
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 St. and Wisconsin Ave.
Marker is at the intersection of Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and East Doty Street, on the right when traveling north on Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard.
