Summary

[General description] This view shows the Customs House on Commercial Road, Port Adelaide, the third Customs building on this site. It was built in 1877-79 in the Victorian Italianate style, next to the earlier Institute building (1874-76). Originally the two buildings were separated by a laneway but they were later joined together. Note the large covered dray at the kerbside, which according to a researcher may be a railway wagon that went on railway lines from the old Port Dock Station in St. Vincent Street around to the wharf area. [On back of photograph] 'Commercial Road, Port Adelaide / 1916-26'.
