New London Customhouse, Maritime museum in New London, Connecticut
The New London Customhouse stands as a three-story granite structure on Bank Street, featuring light granite corner pilasters and a columned entrance porch.
Robert Mills, designer of the Washington Monument, constructed this federal customs facility in 1833 to regulate maritime trade and collect duties.
The museum exhibits detail New London's maritime heritage, including ship models, the Amistad affair, and the history of regional lighthouses.
The Frank L. McGuire Maritime Library contains over 2,300 books, charts, maps, and prints for research on maritime history.
The entrance door incorporates wooden planks from the USS Constitution, connecting the building directly to American naval heritage.
