Statement of Significance
Built in stages between 1858 and 1876, the Old Melbourne Customs House is an outstanding example of a mid-Victorian colonial public building, the northern facade and Long Room being of particular distinction. Historically it is of the greatest importance, as the functional and geographic focal point of Victoria's early protectionist policies which, at the time they were introduced in the 1860s and 1870s, gained for the colony an international reputation as economic heretic and potential destroyer of the British Empire.
