United States Custom House, Court House, and Post Office, Federal building at Canal Street in Near West Side, Chicago, United States.
The Classical Moderne structure contains vertical columns of windows, black granite entrance elements, and a parapet with bas-relief eagles on both sides.
Constructed in 1933, the building expanded in 1940 with four additional stories and a penthouse to accommodate increased governmental operations in Chicago.
The Custom House represents federal architectural design trends of the 1930s, combining Classical elements with Moderne characteristics in a governmental context.
The location near Chicago River serves multiple federal functions, including customs processing, court proceedings, and postal services under one roof.
Materials from an earlier Custom House on Dearborn Street were transported to Milwaukee for use in constructing the Basilica of St. Josaphat.
