John Minor Wisdom United States Court of Appeals Building • Section 1 of 5

Welcome to 600 Camp Street, a place where the weight of history is felt in every slab of white marble. You are standing before the John Minor Wisdom United States Court of Appeals Building, a majestic landmark that serves as the headquarters for the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Situated just across from the lush greenery of Lafayette Square, this building is more than just a courthouse; it is a sentinel of the United States judicial system in the South. As you look up at its imposing three-story facade, try to imagine this block in 1915, when it first opened its doors not just to judges, but to citizens picking up their mail at what was then the city's main Post Office. It was designed to be the most important public building of the New South, and today, it remains one of the most significant legal sites in the entire country.
