Completed in 1890, the Richardsonian Romanesque building was used as a post office and a federal district court. The four story building has a tall tower with an open belfry and clock-faced dormers on the steep pyramidal roof. The exterior is made from smooth and rusticated ashlar-cut stone.
Today, the building is named "Madison Hall of Justice" above the three entrance arches. The building also was once the Richmond City Hall. Sometimes, it has been called the McCreary Building after the former governor and then congressman who secured federal money for the building.
