and in 1875 the old Unitarian Church,
which stood on the site of the pres
ent building. was obtained. Because
Congress would not appropriate money
for a building, the old church was
utilized as a court until 1905, when
it was razed, and the present build
ing constructed and finally dedicated
and occupied in 1907. Even while
the present building was being con-
structed, the court had to shift for
itself, and finally was lodged in a
dwelling on Fifteenth street, on the
site where the Commerce Building
now stands.

building commensurate with the
great volume of business transacted
in the dirty, squalid, crowded and
unhealthy atmosphere of the pres
ent structure. Judge Schuldt, from
the time of his appointment in 1923,
worked ceaselessly for it.
In 1925 he invited a delegation of
members of Congress to visit the
court house and see the miserable con-

tion. bill was passed authorizing the
erection of a new building and the
appointment of committee, COM
posed Of the Fine Arts Commission,
Chief Justice Mccoy of District
Court and Presiding Judge Schuldt,
to select q site.
After long discussion a site was
selected at Fourth and E streets. in
what is known as Judiciary Square.
