Federal Courthouse, Building, and Old Post Office 31401 (Savannah, Georgia)
Originally built in 1894-99, the Tomochichi Federal Building and United States Courthouse features the designs of architects Willoughby J. Edbrooke and Jeremiah O'Rourke. It was later expanded in 1930-32, using the designs of James A. Wetmore. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
In 2005 the structure was named in honor of the Muskogee (Creek) friend of James Oglethorpe and co-founder of Savannah, who is interred in Wright Square across from the east elevation of the building.
The edifice is also a contributing property to the Savannah Historic District, which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966, and was designated a National Historic Landmark District the same year.
Georgia's fifth largest city, Savannah serves as the seat of Chatham County. It is the oldest city in the state, dating back to its founding in 1733 near the mouth of the Savannah River.
