United States Custom House and Post Office, Federal building in downtown Cincinnati, United States.
The granite and iron structure measured 234 feet in length and 179 feet in depth, featuring high ceilings reaching up to 26 feet on the first floor.
The federal building served Cincinnati from 1885 to 1936, housing the United States Custom House and the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio.
The building represented the federal presence in Cincinnati, with its location at Fourth and Vine Streets selected to centralize government offices in the growing city.
The construction of the building required extensive manual labor for excavation and took eleven years to complete, with a total cost of 5,088,328 dollars.
Three United States Presidents visited the building's location, and Abraham Lincoln delivered a speech at what later became known as Fountain Square.
