Gene Snyder Courthouse

Louisville Kentucky’s Gene Snyder Courthouse was originally built in 1931 as the Post Office, Court House, and Custom House. Louisville, over the previous decade, had become a major economic hub for the state, and the grand courthouse was constructed to serve as a center for the Western district. Supervision Architect of the US Treasury Department, James A. Wetmore, oversaw the planning for the formal building, constructed in the Classical Revival style. Classical Revival was a common style for government buildings during that period. The Court House specifically emulated the US Treasury Department Building, completed in 1910.

The Court House was renamed in 1986 to honor Gene Snyder, a long-serving Kentucky politician and Congressional Representative. During this time the Post Office was moved out and the interior space was renovated. This rehabilitation won the building many stewardship awards for successful historical preservation. In 1999, the Courthouse was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
