1. Title: "A Glimpse into the Past: Custom House, Launceston, Tasmania, Early 20th Century" 2. Caption: Step back in time with this vintage photograph of Custom House, a historic landmark located in the heart of Launceston, Tasmania. Dating back to the early 20th century, this image offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the building's grandeur and charm during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The Custom House, built in 1839, is a significant architectural treasure in Launceston's rich history. Originally designed as a customs and immigration house, it later served as the Town Hall and is now home to the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery. In this photograph, the Custom House stands proudly against a clear, blue sky, with its intricate architectural details illuminated by the warm glow of a vintage lantern. The building's red-brick facade, tall arched windows, and ornate cornices are all beautifully preserved, reflecting the elegance and sophistication of the era. The image also reveals a bustling street scene, with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians going about their daily business. The presence of the lantern adds an extra layer of intrigue, hinting at the importance of the Custom House as a beacon of commerce and connection in the early days of Launceston. This photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the enduring allure of Tasmania's past. It invites us to explore the stories and history that lie within the walls of this magnificent building and the vibrant city of Launceston.
