This is the 1912 vintage Federal courthouse and post office in Oklahoma City. This classic courthouse is no longer used for civil or criminal trials, having been replaced by a new courthouse nearby, but it is still used for bankruptcy proceedings. I've been told that the most famous trial to have been held here was the criminal trial of Machine Gun Kelly.
The courthouse was a courthouse of the Western District of Oklahoma, and for a time was used by the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals prior to Oklahoma being reassigned to the 10th Circuit.
