1. Thomas D. Lambros Marker
On August 19, 1996, this building was rededicated to honor the achievements of Thomas D. Lambros as lawyer, jurist and proud citizen of the United States of America.
This son of Greek immigrants was born February 4, 1930, in Ashtabula, Ohio. He was elected judge of the Common Pleas Court of Ashtabula County, serving from 1960 to 1967, when he was appointed by President Lyndon B. Johnson as a U. S. District Judge for the Northern District of Ohio. He was Chief Judge of that court from 1990 until he retired in 1995.
His 35 years as a jurist were shaped by a passion for justice and pride in America. He cherished administering the oath of citizenship to more than 40,000 individuals who, like his own parents, followed the American Dream to this land of freedom and opportunity. His pioneering efforts to simplify the judicial process produced the Summary Jury Trial now used nationally as a pretrial settlement procedure.
In recognition of his distinguished service, and his personal efforts that led to the construction of this building, Public Law 104-136 was enacted by Congress and signed by President William J. Clinton on April 30, 1996, naming this structure the Thomas D. Lambros Federal Building and United States Courthouse.
Erected by U.S. General
