Federal Courthouse and Post Office in Fort Smith was built circa 1937 by the Works Progress Administration. It was constructed behind the old 1890s era federal courthouse where Judge Isaac Parker heard the last cases of his judicial career. Once finished, the old courthouse was demolished. It's seen here probably sometime in the late 1940s or early 1950s. In the 1990s, it was renovated and the post office moved to the downtown station on Garrsion, built in 1994. The courthouse was rechristened the Judge Isaac Parker Building around that time.
