Customs House, Brisbane, Heritage customs building in Brisbane, Australia
Built with copper dome and Victorian Free Classical elements, this three-story structure stands prominently along the Brisbane River at Queen Street.
The customs building opened in 1889 to handle increasing maritime trade, replacing a smaller structure that had operated since 1850 at Petrie Bight.
The Long Room, formerly used for customs transactions, now hosts university lectures and formal dinners, maintaining its connection to Brisbane education.
The building contains six dedicated event spaces, a restaurant with riverside dining, and facilities for conferences, weddings, and corporate gatherings.
The original customs officers maintained detailed records of every ship entering Brisbane, documenting cargo from European and Asian trading vessels.
