This masonry, brick, granite, and limestone structure was constructed in 1933 in the Classical Revival style. The Federal Building was dedicated on August 4, 1934,as both the U. S. Post Office and Courthouse. The Federal Building/United States Post Office/Courthouse in Tyler, Texas, is significant as a symbol of the Federal presence in Tyler. The passage of the Public Buildings Act of 1926 precipitated a period of building construction that was unprecedented in the United States. Shirley Simons, Sr., local architect, designed the Federal Building in Tyler. Many of the Federal buildings of this period exhibit streamlined, almost austere finishes and features, as evidenced in the streamlined Classical Revival design of the Federal Building.
