Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House

The Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House features a stone exterior with nautical motifs, four continents statues, and Corinthian columns across its seven-story structure at Broadway's southern end point.

Built between 1902 and 1907 by architect Cass Gilbert, this federal building replaced the previous custom house at 55 Wall Street after a competitive selection process.

The building houses the National Museum of the American Indian's Heye Center, displaying extensive collections of Native American artifacts within its decorated halls.

Located at 1 Bowling Green, the structure contains the United States Bankruptcy Court, Department of Transportation offices, and remains accessible through multiple subway stations.

The central rotunda contains murals by Reginald Marsh depicting maritime scenes, created during the Works Progress Administration project in 1938.
