An interesting example of the development of the Broome house form into larger public buildings. The early use of in-situ concrete is also significant
A single storeyed building with formed concrete walls and a timber framed corrugated iron clad roof. Built circa 1890 as the Queen's Warehouse and subsequently used by Customs, the building has recently been converted for use as a museum for the local Historical Society.
