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.
