The Fort Worth U.S. Courthouse was designed by noted Philadelphia architect Paul Philippe Cret with local architect Wiley G. Clarkson and built in 1933 under the U.S. Treasury's Office of the Supervising Architect. The five-story limestone building blends Art Moderne and classical elements and features multicolored terrazzo floors, Art Deco detailing, and courtroom murals. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001, it was renamed the Eldon B. Mahon United States Courthouse in 2003.
