Designed by James Gamble Rogers, New Haven’s Post Office and Federal District Court building was completed on New Haven Green in 1913. It’s Neoclassical design features an especially long and flattened Greek-style columned portico, designed by Rogers to fit in with the need for an extended facade in a crowded urban area. It succeeds in making an impression with its dignified presence.
