Moscow Post Office and Courthouse - Moscow, ID - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"The City Hall of Moscow, Idaho, formerly known as the Moscow Post Office and Courthouse, also known as Moscow Federal Building, is a building in Moscow built 106 years ago in 1911. It reflects Late Victorian and Eclectic architecture.

As a federal building, it served historically as a post office and a courthouse of the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, it was vacated in 1974 when the new federal building opened two blocks away.[3] Two years later, it was acquired by the city from the General Services Administration for $70,000, with half of that funded from the state historical society. At the time, the land alone was valued at $100,000.

Rejected for use as a library in 1979, it became a community center in the early 1980s.

A bond issue to fund a renovation was defeated in late 1986, it became the city hall of the municipality in the 1990s." (visit link)
