The Federal Aviation Administration Records Center in Martinsburg, West Virginia is the former United States Courthouse and Post Office for the city. It is a Richardson Romanesque style building, principally designed by Willoughby J. Edbrooke, of the Office of the Supervising Architect.[2] It was used as a federal courthouse and post office from 1895 to 1961, when both functions moved across the street to a new facility.
The Federal Aviation Administration occupied the building in 1970, primarily as an emergency relocation center for Washington-based operations, then vacated the building in the 1990s. The blast-resistant construction and communications facilities are still visible in the basement.[3]
The building is now used as a community arts center, and is part of the Downtown Martinsburg Historic District. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1]
