CUSTOM HOUSE AND
POST OFFICE BUILDING, W. s Battery bet Wash'n and Jackson
For the foundation of this imposing building the piling and- grillage were finished in October, 1854, from which time the work of the structure advanced with regularity; und was completed in October, 1855. By the official report io the premises it appears that the amount ex- pended in connection with the building to September 30. 1855, was $847,101 08, and that the total amount of appropriation for the object was $$66,271 09. The cdifice is 70 by 160 feet and contains three spacious stories and a basement ; it is built with massive granite work from the aforesaid grillage to the hight of about 10 feet, above which the superstructure is foimed with heavy brick work, having a spacious granite balcony in the East front commo- nicating with the 2d story. The bases and capitals of the pillars and the antæ, the balustrade, the caps of the win- dows, and the cornice of the exterior are of cast iron. The Ist story is devoted to the purposes of the Post Office, and is arranged in the most appropriate manner for the business of that department, having an entire extent of passage way in front of the delivery windows, capable of accommodating 1,000 persons, with spacious approaches, affording abundaut means for ingress and egress. The 2d story, which is ap- proached hy means of two grand stair-ways of iron, is used for the business purposes of the Custom House : its elegant ceiling is supported by two rows of Corinthian columns with antæ along the sides, and the furniture, which is formed of mahogany, is arranged in an admirable manner for the con- venience of the department. The 3d story and basement are used for the various offices in connection with the depart- ment. The building is rendered fire-proof on the exterior, and to a very great extent in the interior-the floors being of brick and the stairways either of granite or iron. The chief portion of the materials used in the work are of Cali- fornia production. The superior quality of the materials of' which the structure is formed, and the admirable manner in which they are disposed of in its erection, insures strength and durability ; it is well provided with every means for light, ventilation and coovenience throughout the interior, and reflects great credit on Mr. James Smiley, contractor and on the superintendent, Major Zealous B. Tower.
