Title A name given to the resource U.S. Post Office and Court House Subject The topic of the resource post offices Description An account of the resource The U.S. Post Office and Court House occupies a city block in downtown Newark. The program of the building accommodates two functions: court rooms on the upper floors and post office in the lower floors. The whole complex is five and one half stories tall. It is finished on the exterior with Indiana limestone on masonry clad skeletal frame, while the roof is made of metal standing seam. As a civic institution, the style endorsed by federal authorities prescribed a Beaux-Arts formula which in this case was pared down due to budgetary restrictions brought about by the Depression. As a result, marble ornamentation on the interior was replaced by oak paneling. The corridors and vestibule are vaulted while on the third floor the corridors confluence under a two-story tall dome.
