The former U.S. Customhouse in Niagara Falls, New York was a Custom House for the United States end of the Niagara River. It was built in 1863 and served in this capacity until the 1960s, although there were some interruptions wherein it was used for various commercial purposes. It then went through several owners before it was abandoned in 1998, although there were some interruptions wherein it was used for various commercial purposes. The U.S. Customhouse 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. The Customhouse was once very busy, with Niagara Falls receiving the second highest amounts of American imports at one time.
The building has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1973, and has been owned by the city of Niagara Falls since 2003.
There are plans to use the building as a replacement for the Niagara Falls Amtrak station.
