United States Customhouse
United States Customhouse, Federal courthouse in Savannah, United States.
The granite building features six monolithic columns at its entrance and stands at the corner of East Bay and Bull Streets.
The Custom House land was purchased in 1845 by the federal government and construction was completed in 1852 by architect John S. Norris.
Colonel John H. Deveaux made history in 1889 as the first African American Customs Collector while working in this federal building.
The building maintains its original function as a customs facility while also housing federal courts and administrative offices for government operations.
The interior granite staircase incorporates an innovative design where each step interlocks with the next, supported by an octagonal column.
