The John A Campbell US Courthouse in Mobile, Alabama is a white, limestone building resting on a granite base, built in the relatively austere Neo-Classical Revival style. The building exhibits some characteristics of Renaissance Revival and some of the Art Deco style; it serves as a bridge between the two styles. The building was constructed in 1934 with an addition to the west in 1940. The main elevation is the east. The south and west elevations are slightly less elaborate and are not generally in public view. - US General Services Administration
