The former Federation Academic Classical style Customs House constructed in 1899-1901 is a two storey rectangular building with a semi-circular porch projecting from the façade facing Quay Street and is flanked by end bays. The porch comprises a row of Corinthian columns following the curve of this façade of the building. Sitting behind the Customs Hall is a two storey former Bond Store. Centrally located over the principal room of the building is a large dome clad with a copper and zinc alloy, known as Muntz metal sheeting. The metal sheets have been laid radiating from the central metal lantern in twelve sections. The dome rests on a sandstone cylinder which has twelve regularly spaced oculi or round windows, every second and third ones of which are blind openings.
