IMG_3515.jpg - Built in 1818 during the early 19th century, between 8 and 12 percent of the nation's revenues were collected in this building. However, the building is most famous because of one of its employees. Between 1847 and 1849 Nathaniel Hawthorne worked in this building as Customs Surveyor (apparently a plum patronage appointment). While in Salem, Hawthorne wrote The Scarlet Letter. His Introduction to the book focuses on the Custom House, and includes an extended description of the building, its interior, and the people who worked there.
