The custom house is at the head of Derby Wharf, one of the two largest and most important wharves in Salem during the period of the town's greatest commercial prosperity. It was built of brick in 1818 and 1819, and is chiefly interesting from its association with Nathaniel Hawthorne and General James Miller of Lundy's Lane fame
