The Buffalo City Court Building (built right after the Kennedy Assassination (and Oswald's on his way out of the jail to the courthouse - hence no windows and complete security from parking garage, up a separate elevator directly into the courtrooms). It sits on Niagara Square - site of the McKinley monument to commemorate the assassination of President McKinley in Buffalo 1904. Only windows are the narrow slits at the ends of the corridors.
