The old Wahgunyah Customs House was erected in 1886 by the Public Works Department and is almost identical to the Echuca Customs House (1884). The single storey structure in exposed polychrome brickwork has a hipped roof clad in slates and surmounted by iron finials. Before Federation customs duties were charged by each of the three colonies served by Murray River traffic, both on goods being imported and on some passing interstate.
This building is a particularly fine example of a colonial border customs house from the pre-federation period of trading between the states, and survives from when Wahgunyah was a busy trading port and river crossing. It reflects the intense rivalry over intercolonial customs that became one of the catalysts for federation, and its redundancy after 1901 is a symbol of the success of federation. It is also a fine example of late nineteenth century Public Works Department design and incorporates the Department's distinctive polychrome motif of polychrome banded brickwork and round arch windows with pointed hood moulds and incised keystones. The fine detailing and workmanship are particularly notable. The building is an essential element of this picturesque town. The building is externally intact and appears to be structurally sound. It now serves as a residence.
