The H. Carl Moultrie Courthouse is a courthouse of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia located at 500 Indiana Avenue NW, Washington, D.C.[2]

History

It was named after former Chief Judge H. Carl Moultrie I. Judge Moultrie was appointed an associate judge in 1972 and chief judge on June 22, 1978. He remained chief judge until he died on April 9, 1986.[3][4][5] Many civil marriages, including same-sex marriages, take place at the Moultrie Courthouse.

In August 1978, heavy rain resulted in a roof leak because the roof drains could not handle the volume of rainwater.[6]
