The New London Custom House is a historic custom house at 150 Bank Street in New London, Connecticut, built in 1833-35. It was designed by Robert Mills, one of the country's first formally trained architects. From 1839-40, the schooner La Amistad, on which captured Africans meant for the slave trade rebelled, was impounded at a wharf behind the customhouse.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its architecture in 1970,[1] and is now a local museum covering the city's maritime history.
