The former United States Customhouse (now the Custom House Maritime Museum) is a historic building at 25 Water Street in Newburyport, Massachusetts.
The Classical Revival style building was constructed in 1834 and served a custom house until Newburyport declined in popularity as a major port. The Newburyport Maritime Society, Inc. operates the Custom House Maritime Museum to showcase the maritime heritage of the Merrimack Valley. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. It is also a contributing element to the Market Square Historic District (also listed in 1971), and the Newburyport Historic District (listed in 1984).

Newburyport: A Measure of Change
An incredible video that chronicles the pivotal span of time when the city transformed itself from a worn-out mill town to a vibrant destination city by using historic preservation (First in the nation to use restoration rather than demolition for urban renewal) and in which municipalities across the United States have since modeled themselves in the same way.

American Artifacts Preview: Massachusetts Maritime History
In the Fall of 2011, historian and author Richard Norton Smith led a week-long bus tour of New England. Here are three stops from that tour along Boston's North Shore where we learn about maritime history. First, dating to 1644, Fort Sewall in Marblehead, Massachusetts. Then, the Salem Maritime National Historic Site to learn how Salem figured prominently in shipping, customs collection, and commerce in the early 19th century. And last, the Gloucester Fisherman's Memorial, dedicated to the thousands of Gloucester fishermen lost at sea.

December 14 - The Contract for the Building of the Key West Custom House was Awarded
As Key West became increasingly wealthy, the four story architectural marvel known as the Custom House was built, and it is a perfect example of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture. It's easily one of the most beautiful buildings in Key West and the crown jewel of the island.
Despite the difficulties and delays in construction, the Custom House opened in April of 1891. Built at a total cost of $107,955 - and that was almost $30,000 over the budget.
The Key West climate took an immediate toll on the building and the salty air eroded parts of it. The Hurricanes of 1909, 1910, and 1920 caused considerable damage to the brick building.
The new building housed Key Wesr customs offices, the District Court and the post office. When it first opened, the building was occupied on the first floor by the postal and custom services, with the second floor containing the courtroom and court offices, while the lighthouse inspector and other government officials were housed on the third floor. During its prime the Custom House heard thousands of cases and judgments ranging from rum runners to ship salvaging claims. The most significant proceedings dealt with the sinking of the US Maine in Havana Harbor, which ultimately led to the Spanish American War.
As the decades passed, the Customs House saw a decrease in use. In the 1930s, the customs offices, the District Court and the post office all moved to new facilities. The Navy moved some of its personnel into the building into a utilitarian office space, they dropped the ceiling and turned the large gracious rooms into small functional offices. The beautifully arched wrap-around porch was also enclosed to create additional workspace.
Despite the fact that in 1973, the Custom House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Navy eventually decided to abandon the building. With all of its former tenants relocated, the Custom House was sealed, fenced off and left a feral cats, transients and just general decay. In 1976, after being declared a Historic Custom House by the Treasury Department, the structures ownership title was given to the city of Key West.
Throughout the 1980s, the custom houses future remained in doubt. Various plans were drafted, which saw the historic building being converted into a yacht club and at one point even to an upscale resort. Ultimately after being sold in 1991 to the Florida Land Acquisition Advisory Council. The Key West Art and Historical Society undertook the restoration of the dilapidated building. In 1993, historic renovations began on the building under the supervision of lead architect Bert Bender. What had originally cost less than $110,000 to build in four years, now cost nearly $9 million to renovate over nine years. Restoration of the building followed historical preservation guidelines and used original construction materials. The building required modernization in order to accommodate a public museum and offices. This required the installation of additional stairwells and elevator, temperature control climates, archival rooms, offices and facilities to accommodate over 300,000 visitors a year. With restorations completed in 1999, the Key West Art and Historical Society reopened the beautiful Custom House as the crown jewel of Key West
And it was today December the 14th, 1888, that the contract for the Custom House at the end of Whitehead Street was awarded. The structure was completed three years later and occupied in the latter part of 1891.

Pembroke Massachusetts Theives at our house Please Help !
Please HELP!!
This happened a few years ago while we were camping. The police didn't catch any of these people and our insurance (Holyoke and Commerce insurance) wouldn't pay our claim so we took it to court. And after a long long time in court and paying a lot of money out of pocket we only recouped a very small portion of our thousands of dollars in losses.
Someone knew we had our hardwood floors refinished and we were leaving to go camping that night to give the floors time to dry.
In the video you will see the thieves show up at 2:22:18 PM. They take our belongings from our house and then they drive away with my son's new truck. They ruined our newly finished floors and took $1000's in valuables.
If you recognize any of these thieves please call the Pembroke Police. (781) 293-6363
Thank you,
