Old Victoria Custom House

The Old Victoria Custom House, also known as the Malahat Building, in Victoria was completed in 1875 and designated as a historic building in 1987. It is a three-storey, mansard-roofed, custom house overlooking Victoria's harbour, symbolizing the era when Victoria was the pre-eminent commercial centre on Canada's West Coast. The Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada describes the building as a "relatively plain example of the imposing Second Empire style" adopted for such structures under Thomas Seaton Scott, the first Chief Architect of the Department of Public Works (1872-1881).
