Federal District
Downtown Denver also houses a smaller Federal District consisting of four blocks around Champa, Stout, 19th and 20th streets. This district contains a federal courthouse, the Byron G. Rogers Federal Building, a U.S. Court of Appeals, and a US Customs House. Not a part of this district is the Denver Mint, which actually lies behind the City and County Building at Civic Park.
