 Customs House, Sydney
The Customs House is a heritage building in Circular Quay, Sydney. It was constructed in 1844-1845, and was used as the headquarters of the Customs Service right up to 1990. Ownership then transferred from the Commonwealth Government of Australia to the City of Sydney Council in 1994. It then was used for exhibitions and private functions. In 2003, Customs House was refurbished, and is now the new home of the City of Sydney Library.
