This 21-story office building opened in 1928 and was named for its proximity to both the county courthouse and the Fourth Avenue financial district.

Looking above the fifth-floor windows, one sees a row of identical carved faces bearing a resemblance to Joseph Stalin. These mustachioed mugs were actually modeled after the 1920s stereotypical look of lawyers and financiers.
