The details in the metal railings on the second floor. with the American eagle motif are also a replica of the earlier customhouse. Today the building. which has undergone some modifications over the years. ironically does not house the office of the U.S. Customs. that office was relocated in 1968 at the North Carolina State Ports Authority. But it does house such Federal agencies as the Army Corps of Engineers. Federal district court. naturalization and Immigration offices. and Selective Service System. It was historically significant that the customhouse in Wilmington should be dedicated as a historic monument on July 21. 1974. For 200 years ago on that same date.
