Daily Waypoint | N 36° 31 '34.2" W 87° 21' 30.8" Customs House Museum Eclectic Victorian Architecture—The Customs House Museum and Cultural Center is Tennessee's second largest general interest museum. It features fine art, history, and children's exhibits. It is located in Clarksville, Tennessee's Downtown District. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 as Clarksville Federal Building. It was established in 1984 as the Clarksville Montgomery County Museum. The 1898 portion of the Museum was originally designed for use as a Federal post office and custom house to handle the large volume of foreign mail created by the city's international tobacco business. The structure was designed by the Supervising Architect of the Treasury, William Martin Aiken, in the eclectic style popular to Victorian America. Aiken incorporated many architectural styles including Stick, Queen Anne, Italianate, Romanesque, Flemish and Gothic. Its highly pitched roof with large eagles on the four corners, steep gabled windows and elaborate terra cotta ornamentation combine to give importance to a relatively small building.-This image was processed as an HDR (High Dynamic Range) composition. https://www.fmgphoto.com/Lifestyle/Architecture/i-BDB7xjR #HDR #Clarksville #Tennessee #customshousemuseum #ClarksvilleTennessee #NationalRegisterofHistoricPlaces #eclecticarchitecture #victorianarchitecture #museum #victorian #victorianbuilding #victorianstyle #discoveramerica #travelpics #travellife #travelinspiration #travelblog #travelphotography #fmgphoto #followingmygps #travelphotography #traveller #photography #travelamerica #lifestyle #LifeWellLived #travelmagazine #roadtripping #exploring #roadtrip (at Customs House Museum & Cultural Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE1dHY-MbF2/?igshid=1ped3juve9vh6
