The U.S. Post Office and Courthouse in Shreveport, Louisiana, was built in 1910. It was designed in Italian Renaissance architecture style by James K. Taylor and James A. Wetmore. It served historically as a courthouse and as a post office.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974[1] and became a contributing property of Shreveport Commercial Historic District at the time of its creation on March 11, 1982.[3]
In 1974 all federal offices vacated the building. It is currently a branch of the Shreve Memorial Library.[4]
