The United States Customshouse, located on Cobbs Hill in Barnstable, Massachusetts, is a Renaissance Revival structure designed by Ammi B. Young and built in 1855. Originally serving as both a custom house and post office, the building operated in these capacities until 1913, then housed various government offices until 1958. Converted to a museum in 1960, it now functions as the Coast Guard Heritage Museum and the Donald G. Trayser Memorial Museum. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
