Old Customshouse is a historic custom house located at Erie, Erie County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1838–1839, and is a two-story, brick and Vermont marble rectangular building. The front facade features a pedimented portico with six two-story, Doric order columns in the Greek Revival style. The building housed the post office until 1867, served as the Customs House for the port of Erie from 1849 to 1888, and later housed a Grand Army of the Republic post and the Erie County Historical Society. It is now part of a five-building complex of the Erie Art Museum.
