Tanya O ’ Connor Jamila Little about the Cover
Continuing with our theme of featuring historic legal images in Hillsborough County , the image on this issue ’ s cover is a postcard from the early 1900 ’ s showing an aerial view of downtown Tampa and the Old Federal Courthouse . Completed in 1905 , the Old Federal Courthouse building was designed by James Knox Taylor , the supervising architect of the United States Treasury in Washington , D . C . who designed hundreds of public buildings . A Beaux Arts-style building reflecting the classic roots of early twentieth century architecture , the building was originally designed for the United States Post Office , but also served as a courthouse and customhouse . From 1984 to 1998 , this building was used exclusively to house the Tampa Division of the Middle District . Today , the building is featured in the National Register of Historic Places , and now houses Le Meridien Tampa boutique hotel . Thank you to HCBA member Tom Elligett for providing us this beautiful postcard .
