6th and Douglas
"Government Corner"  

Over the years, 6th and Douglas became known as "government corner" because of the concentration of government buildings at the site.

The above drawing was printed on the cover of a booklet produced by the Sioux City Art Center in the 1940s.

The artist's rendition shows the new Post Office and Federal Building (far left), City Hall and Library (left center), the Woodbury County Courthouse (right center at 7th and Douglas) and on the far right is the old Post Office and Federal Building – later to become City Hall.
