Customs building, Office building at the port of Manaus, Brazil.
The Customs Building displays exposed brick blocks and Renaissance elements across its facade, with a steel lighthouse tower rising above the structure.
The English firm Manaos Harbour Limited constructed this customs complex during the early 1900s, coinciding with the regional rubber trade expansion.
The building reflects the strong British influence on Brazilian architecture, incorporating medieval and Renaissance design elements common in London buildings.
The structure continues to function as a customs administration center, managing commercial activities along the Amazon River port area.
The building materials, including prefabricated brick blocks, were shipped directly from England to create this European architectural statement in the Amazon.
