The Customs House
The Customs House
This is an illustration of the Customs House in 1817 by James Malton. The original custom house in Dublin was built in 1707 by Thomas Burgh, and was situated further up the Liffey on Essex Quay. There was a significant need for the construction of a new custom house as the old custom house was seen as being unsafe only 70 years after its construction. The New Custom House (here pictured) was designed by James Gandon, a famous architect of the time. With the newly reclaimed land in the dockland area of the liffey a site was chosen further downstream of the liffey for the new building. This new site was not concrete and there were fears that the building would sink eventually, however Gandon’s new construction plans involved using planks of wood to form a base over the marsh on which the building would stand. The building was completed in 1871. It suffered heavily in the Irish Civil War of 1921 in which it was burned down. However, after some renovations to repair the house, it still stands tall along the Liffey.
