The Paul Brown Federal Building and United States Courthouse, also known as Sherman U.S. Federal Building, is a historic government building in Sherman, Texas. It was built during 1906-1907 and reflects Renaissance Revival architecture. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000 as the US Post Office and Courthouse.[1] It served historically as a post office (until 1962) and continues to serve as a federal courthouse for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.[2] In 2014, the building was renamed in honor of District Judge Paul Neeley Brown.[3] It is a three-story limestone-clad building on a granite base with a red clay tiled hipped roof.
