Notes:
The original 1897 plans called for two-story high courtrooms in the large spaces at each end of the central wing at the third floor. After construction had begun but prior to the summer of 1900 it was decided to delete the courtrooms and use the spaces for other purposes. (Interior Finish Drawing No.134, date 7/12/1900 clearly indicates that these spaces would not be used as courtrooms.) According to the contemporary accounts, Federal District Court Judge Charles B. Bellinger, was not pleased with the Custom House location in the'seamy part of town'and he pursuaded the government to consider adding courtrooms to the Pioneer Courthouse. Detailing of the two rooms in the 1900 plans was greatly simplified from the designs seen in the 1897 drawings, but some of the earlier elements remain, including the large central skylights in the paneled ceilings."
