Custom House

Detail of Cornice ... Custom House

The Custom House is at 555 Battery, across from the Golden Gate Center. Finished in 1911, it replaced a nearby building (pictures here and here) that had been destroyed. Built in a Beaux Arts style, it currently houses government offices (Vaterland Sicherheits). Quite a difference from the Mexican Custom House of 1846.
