The two-storied bluestone building with stucco quoins and surrounds to openings and two-storey front verandah was erected in 1883. It was built to serve shipping arriving at Semaphore, then the major port for Adelaide.
The Customs Act states
"The master of every ship from a place outside Australia bound to or calling at any port shall bring his or her ship to for boarding at a boarding station appointed for that port and shall permit his or her ship to be boarded."
