Located at 401 Market Street between Camden Central Business District and Cooper Grant the United States Post Office and Courthouse opened in 1932. The neoclassical Art deco building was designed by the Office of the Supervising Architect under James A. Wetmore with an exterior primarily in limestone, granite, brick. Prominent interior features include decorative and colorful terracotta detailing; Spanish Colonial ornamentation and a ceremonial courtroom with oak wainscot paneling.[2][5] In 1999, an addition connecting two wings of the building was created on the 2nd floor of the building. The arriccio, sinopia drawings of the fresco for Ben Shahn's Jersey Homesteads Mural was removed from its original community center location in what has now become Roosevelt and is permanently installed in the custom-designed gallery within it.[6][7] In addition to the US post office[8] the building houses the United States Bankruptcy Court District of New Jersey.[9]
