United States Customhouse and Post Office (Bath, Maine)

The U.S. Customhouse and Post Office is a historic commercial building at 1 Front Street in downtown Bath, Maine.

It is a two-story masonry structure, built out of ashlar granite and covered by a truncated metal hip roof.

Its front facade (facing west) has a center projecting section topped by a fully pedimented low-pitch gable.

Young was responsible for the design of many government buildings, including notable works such as the Vermont State Capitol and the Boston Custom House.
