Old Customshouse (Erie, Pennsylvania)

The Old Customshouse, a historic building in Erie, Pennsylvania, is a prime example of Greek Revival architecture, constructed between 1838 and 1839. This two-story brick and Vermont marble structure features a striking pedimented portico supported by six Doric columns. It served various important roles, including as a post office until 1867 and as the Customs House for the port of Erie from 1849 to 1888. Today, it is part of a complex that includes the Erie Art Museum, making it a fascinating stop for tourists and researchers interested in American history and architecture.
