Title
A name given to the resource
New London Custom House
Description
An account of the resource
Coast (Defense), Grace McGee
The New London Custom House (1833) is the site of New London’s integral efforts to thrive as a port city through the presence of the United States Customs Service. The USCS combats maritime piracy and regulated embargos. The federal government still uses the Custom House for official business, which makes it the oldest continuously operating custom house in the United States. Additionally, the building houses the New London Maritime Society, which operates as a source of New London’s maritime history. Today, the Custom House stands as a testament to the longevity of New London’s maritime history, both with the Maritime Society as a source of historical objects and documents and with the federal government activities still occurring in the building, after hundreds of years.

Description
An account of the resource
Commerce, Olga Nikolaeva
The Whaling Bank (1833) was founded by several New London whalers. In 1864, the bank was recognized nationally and became the National Whaling Bank. Following the decline of the whaling industry in New London, the bank closed and the building was sold and became the Thames Crockery, a restaurant supply business. Shortly after, a cafe called Mugz took over the building. After changing hands once again, Muddy Waters, another cafe, took over the structure and still operates there today. The site references two eras of New London’s history and present: the presence and influence of the whaling industry and the modern site of community gathering and commerce.
