Legacy of Commerce by Bruce Peebles. This black and white photograph captures the historic essence of the old Customs House in Beachport, a testament to the town's commercial heritage. Once a tiny office responsible for recording incoming and outgoing goods before Federation, this humble structure played a pivotal role in the customs collection process. Post-Federation, it transitioned into various functions, serving as a railway office for goods and later as lodging for railway workers. The image serves as a visual chronicle of the building's multifaceted history, from its role in customs duties on imports during the late 19th century to its transformation into a museum by Mr. Tom McCourt. The building's evolution, spanning various uses including a brief stint as Australia's smallest bank, reflects the resilience and adaptive spirit of Beachport's historical and commercial identity.
