Description

Revenue Cutter at Custom House Pier, Wilmington , N. C. . The first Wilmington NC "Custom House" was destroyed in a waterfront fire in 1840. It was replaced by a second "Custom House" which lasted until being demolished in 1915. The third "Custom's House/United State Courthouse" was designed by James A. Wetmore in a classical revival style. The three story building on the Cape Fear River waterfront was completed in 1919 and stretches a full block in length. The building was renamed the Alton Lennon Federal Office Building in 1976 after a former U. S. Congressman from Wilmington. It is currently the U. S. District for the Eastern District of North Carolina.
