United States Custom House, Court House and Post Office - Memphis

Located along Front St. in Downtown Memphis, this massive building originated in 1876. At the time when it was just a Customs House, it included two clock towers. In 1929, the building was expanded to become the post office at the towers were removed and it became the massive wall of granite. As of 2010, the building serves as the University of Memphis School of Law.

The name of the building in the title of the photo comes from the name engraved in the top center of the building. It's listed on the National Register of Historic Places as U.S. Post Office - Front Street Station.
