In the game
The ivy-covered courthouse in downtown Seattle that Ellie passes on her way through the city.
The real place
According to the fan wiki, the game's courthouse is based on the federal courthouse at 1010 Fifth Avenue. The Art Moderne building was completed in 1940 and is named after William Kenzo Nakamura, a Japanese American soldier from Seattle who received the Medal of Honor for his actions in the Second World War.
Visiting
It is a working federal building, so look at it from the park in front. The Seattle Central Library, with its glass and steel facade, is two blocks away.
