Back in the day, the Federal Building in Selma was a busy place.
Several federal offices were housed here,
and U.S. District Court judges and juries heard cases upstairs.
Trials and hearings that I covered dealt with rural airport drug raids, alleged voting fraud,
election re-districting and ownership of the former Craig Air Force Base property.
I can still hear the persuasions of then U.S. District Attorney Jeff Sessions
and the pronouncements of U.S. District Judge William Brevard Hand.

beautiful facade and i love the lamp post too!
The portion of the facade that I can see is reminiscent of our Federal Building. Former news person...or court reporter? I was in my fair share of courthouses during my previous career too.
SRQ...news reporter. What was your career?
Looks a lot like the main post office in Columbus, which is also for the federal courts.
now you have us all curious....
that lamp needs a flame shaped cover, I think.
Looks like a solid building with clean, strong lines.
