The United States Customhouse and Post Office in St. Louis, Missouri is one of two surviving Federal office buildings designed by Alfred B. Mullett. The other Mullet building is the Old Executive Office Building in Washington, D.C.. After vacating the building, the Federal government transferred it to the State of Missouri for re-use.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1970.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/68000053.pdf National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: Old Post Office / United States Custom House and Post Office] |32 KB|date=1970-02-17 |author=Charles W.
