United States Customhouse
United States Customhouse, Federal courthouse in Downtown Houston, United States.
The United States Customhouse occupies an entire block in Houston's business district, featuring a copper Mansard roof and rusticated stonework on its three-story structure.
The building, constructed from 1907 to 1911, emerged during Houston's economic competition with Galveston following the devastating hurricane of 1900.
The Second Renaissance Revival architecture incorporates classical elements throughout the structure, including arched windows, ornamental lampposts, and decorative balustrades at each entrance.
Located at 701 San Jacinto Street, the courthouse maintains federal offices and legal proceedings while preserving its original terrazzo and marble interior features.
The structure contains a central two-story courtroom surrounded by offices, with four-story wings added during the 1931 expansion of the building.
