Summary

Customs House, Port Adelaide. 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. The Customs House was designed by Colonial Architect George Thomas Light and originally housed the Marine Board, Surveyors and Harbor Master.
