United States Customhouse (Niagara Falls, New York)

The former U.S. Customhouse in Niagara Falls, New York is a historic Custom House originally for the United States' side of the Niagara River. The building is currently part of a project involving a new Amtrak station for Niagara Falls under construction in which it is part of the new facility and will again house U.S. Customs.
==History==
The customhouse was built in 1863 and served inspectors for the Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge, Niagara Cantilever Bridge, Whirlpool Rapids Bridge, and Michigan Central Railway Bridge at various points in its history. With Niagara Falls receiving the second highest amounts of American imports at one point, the customhouse was once a very busy post for its inspectors. Remaining in a US Customs capacity until the 1960s, it was sold to several different commercial owners before it was originally abandoned in 1998.
Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, the building is now owned by the city of Niagara Falls who purchased it in 2003. State and local governments are in the process of building a new multi-million dollar intermodal transportation center called the Niagara Falls International Railway Station and Intermodal Transportation Center utilizing the original Custom House as part of the station as a facility for U.S. Customs and Border Protection will be based out of, on the second floor along with modern additions. The first floor will contain a museum for the Underground Railroad in honor of the former original bridge close by that took slaves from the United States into Canada in the 19th Century.
