Custom House Block, 2011

The Custom House Block, built in 1845-87[1] in Boston, Massachusetts, is a former warehouse located on Long Wharf, at the end of State Street. Architect Isaiah Rogers designed the four-storey building, constructed of granite and brick. In its 19th-century heyday, it contributed to the life of "Boston's busiest pier, commercial port, and embarkation point for travelers." Today private owners maintain the site.[2][3]

The building was renovated in 1973 by Anderson, Notter, Feingold.[1]
