Scope and Content
The second Saint John Customs House at 189 Prince William Street in Saint John, ca. 1900. Construction began after the original Customs House burnt down in the Saint John fire of 1877. Although this building has "1880" inscribed in the center at the top, it was officially completed and opened in 1881. This building was demolished replaced by the current (2013) structure in the late 1950s after an act of architectural vandalism.
