The Springfield District Court, presently known as the City Hall Annex, is a historic former courthouse located at 1600 East Columbus Avenue in Springfield, Massachusetts. Constructed between 1929 and 1930, it stands as a notable local example of civic Classical Revival architecture. The building was designed by prominent regional architects E. C. & G. C. Gardner.
Originally built to serve as a county courthouse, the structure fulfilled judicial functions until the 1970s. Following its closure as a courthouse, the building was repurposed by the city to accommodate additional municipal government offices.
In recognition of its architectural significance and contribution to the civic development of Springfield, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 24, 1983.
