Regarding Byron White U.S. Courthouse. Constructed between 1910 and 1916, the Courthouse replaced earlier federal buildings in Denver that had grown too small. The Treasury Department was charged with supervising the construction. Through a design competition among twelve invited architects, the Department selected the New York firm of Tracy, Swartwout & Litchfield. The building was originally named the Denver United States Post Office and Courthouse. In January 1994, it was renamed in honor of United States Supreme Court Justice Byron White.

Through the years, the building came to be occupied entirely by the U.S. Postal Service with the exception of the one District Courtroom and its ancillary spaces. Ownership for the building has passed from the Treasury Department to the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) to the U.S. Postal Service, and now back to GSA.
The total cost of the renovation and conversion of the building was about 30 million dollars. The value of the restored building has been placed at about 200 million dollars.
