New London Custom House

Government Building

The Custom House site on Bank Street anchored New London's maritime commerce before and during the Revolution. The current Greek Revival building dates to 1833 (designed by Robert Mills), but the location served as the center of trade regulation and port administration during the Revolutionary era. New London's privateering economy funneled goods and intelligence through this corridor.
