Commonly known as The Equitable Building, One Custom House Street was first constructed in 1872, one of the first structures to use a "cast iron" façade in Providence. Its internal structure is comprised of old world four inch square wooden planks salvaged from early 19th century sailing vessels. Built as the corporate headquarters for The Equitable Insurance Company, One Custom House is now available as professional space for lease.
Strategically located on Weybosset Street at Custom House Street, One Custom House sits among the Bank of America Tower (f/k/a Industrial National Bank Building), One Financial Plaza (f/k/a Hospital Trust Tower), 110 Westminster Street (f/k/a Fleet Center), Turk's Head Building, Amica Tower, the Arcade and more, and surrounded by public parking facilities and some on-street parking.
One Custom House has been meticulously preserved and meets all the criteria for recognition by the State Historic Commission and the United States Department of the Interior, yet it contains the latest in efficient heating and air conditioning, electrical service, fiber optic availability, cable and internet services and more.
