National Historic Waterfront District
Anchoring downtown Eastport, the district extends from the former Customs House, a striking Italianate granite structure that's now the post office, down Water Street to Bank Square and the Romanesque Peavey Memorial Library, with a cannon on the lawn. The area was largely rebuilt in the late 19th century after a fire. A bench is beside an 1889 cast-iron water fountain in front of a former bank, now Tides Institute & Museum of Art.
