The Federal Circuit resides in the Howard T. Markey National
Courts Building at 717 Madison Place NW in Washington, D.C. The
Markey Building is sandwiched between historic homes and faces
Lafayette Square. Originally, the building plans for the courthouse
called for the historic homes to be demolished, but First Lady
Jacqueline Kennedy urged her husband, President John F. Kennedy to
reconsider and seek an option where the homes could be preserved.
President Kennedy tasked John C. Warnecke, an architect who was an
early proponent of contextual architecture, with designing an
option to preserve the historic homes. As desired by First Lady
Jaqueline Kennedy, Warnecke's design for the Markey Building
provides a backdrop for the historic architecture that surrounds
the building.
