Customs House, Grade II* listed building near Quayside, Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
The Customs House features a sandstone ashlar construction with a brick left return and rendered right return, topped by a Welsh slate roof.
Built in 1766 and refronted in 1833 by architect Sidney Smirke, this structure served as a center for managing goods entering through Newcastle's port.
The Georgian royal coat of arms displayed above the front door represents the building's longstanding connection to British maritime trade administration.
The three-storey building contains five windows on each floor, with the ground level featuring four keyed arches and a central double two-panelled door.
The first floor displays pedimented Tuscan cases for sashes, while a fluted frieze and dentilled gutter cornice adorn the architectural details.
