name that building

The beautiful old Federal Courthouse in downtown Indianapolis is being renamed in honor of former U.S. Senator Birch Bayh, who is also the father of the current junior Senator from Indiana.

Lucky him. The old courthouse is quite elegant and understated for that classical beax arts period. The other federal building downtown, a modern building, is perhaps one of the ugliest buildings I've ever seen in a downtown. It has no human scale to it. The color of it is all out of place with the site. It's first floor inset with giant round columns remind me of a house at a lake, up on stilts. But then, that's my reaction to it.

Both are close to the downtown Mall. That's an area that the city doesn't know what to do with. It could be a wonderful town center, but it is very underused.
