The U.S. Courts Library for the Tenth Circuit serves the federal courts in the six-state circuit (Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming). The Denver Headquarters Library is located in the Byron Rogers U.S. Courthouse on the corner of 19th Street and Stout Street, just five blocks from the Denver Convention Center in Central Downtown. It is part of a five-building federal court complex and is across the street from the historic Byron White U.S. Courthouse, which houses an exceptional display dedicated to the life and career of Supreme Court Justice Byron White.
The White Courthouse is constructed in the neo-classical style and its exterior is now clad in Colorado Yule marble, quarried in Marble, Colorado (the same stone used for the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.). The Rogers Courthouse, and attached Federal Office Building, was constructed in the formalist style in 1965 and in 1996/97 was the site of the Timothy McVeigh trial. The Library was completely renovated in 2006. The tour includes visits to the Rogers Courthouse Library and the White Courthouse.
