The Custom House is an early 19th-century building in Cork, Ireland.[7][8] Originally developed as a custom house and opened in 1818, the Cork Harbour Commissioners (later reorganised as the Port of Cork Company) took over the building in 1904.[2][9] The Port of Cork Company vacated the building in early 2021.[10] The Custom House is, together with a number of other buildings on the same site, listed by Cork City Council on its Record of Protected Structures.[6]
