The Howard T. Markey National Courts Building, formerly known as the National Courts Building, is a prominent courthouse in Washington, D.C., housing the United States Court of Federal Claims and the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Strategically located east of Lafayette Square and north of the White House, it stands as a significant legal institution in the heart of the nation's capital.
Originally dedicated in 1967, the building's design, spearheaded by architect John Carl Warnecke and championed by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, showcases a blend of historic preservation and modern functionality. Renamed in honor of Howard Thomas Markey in 1998, the courthouse continues to serve as a distinguished landmark within the Lafayette Square Historic District.
