Pioneer Courthouse
The Pioneer Courthouse is a federal courthouse in Portland,
Oregon, United States. Built beginning in 1869, the structure is the
oldest federal building in the Pacific Northwest, and the second
oldest west of the Mississippi River.[4] Along with Pioneer Courthouse
Square, it serves as the center of downtown Portland. It is also known
as the Pioneer Post Office because a popular downtown Portland post
office was, until 2005, located inside. The courthouse is one of four
primary locations where the United States Court of Appeals for the
Ninth Circuit hears oral arguments. It also houses the chambers of the
Portland-based judges on the Ninth Circuit.
