The late Michael Grave’s addition to the U.S. District Court

300 block of Constitution Ave., NW.  Graves also did a Catholic School  and PA Ave. office building in Washington.  The school is more chaotic and therefore more like Grave’s usual design.  But this addition is less hectic, more dignified as is appropriate for a federal courthouse between the US Capitol Building and the White House.
