The Eureka one listed here as "U.S. Post Office and Customhouse" appears to me to be possibly the NRHP-listed U.S. Post Office and Courthouse (Eureka, California), by 1912 date of construction and location. But the name is different. Is the name here correct? I am not clear on what is source for the information here. Probably some redirect or other connection from here to the NRHP article is needed. --doncram (talk) 12:53, 29 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
Looking at the building in Google Street View, it is clearly the same building pictured on the FJC page. Good find! bd2412T 13:51, 29 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for developing the article. --doncram (talk) 16:05, 29 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
By the way, does the NRHP have any information about whether the Shaw House (Ferndale, California) was used as a federal courthouse? The article indicates that it was a courthouse and post office. bd2412T 13:34, 29 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
The NRIS database indicates "Historic subfunction: courthouse; post office; single dwelling" but does not state whether it was a Federal courthouse. I just updated its article a little bit. The definitive good source would be the NRHP nomination document for the place, which could be obtained by request to the National Register in Washington, D.C. (per instructions at wp:NRHPhelp). --doncram (talk) 16:05, 29 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
I called the Shaw House and they were unable to tell me. They referred me to the Ferndale Museum, but the line has been busy since I've tried calling. bd2412T 17:37, 29 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

I've added citation needed tags because I don't think this is a courthouse. It is definitely not in the Southern District of California. I have a slightly more detailed explanation on the Chet Holifield Federal Building talk page. I didn't delete it here because it's possible that it was once used as a courthouse, but I have found no reference to that outside of wikipedia. Swsail (talk) 04:11, 25 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
