Customs House
Customs House Restoration Project
Customs House, a prominent landmark on Montrose Port’s North Quay boundary, dates back to the 19th century and has played a vital role in the port’s maritime history. Originally serving as the main customs office for goods entering and leaving Montrose, this building is not only a piece of local heritage but a symbol of the area's commercial and cultural legacy.
The adjacent Granary Store, equally rich in history, supported the Customs House by providing essential storage space for traded goods, cementing Montrose's role as a vibrant trading hub.
In 2023, Montrose Port Authority purchased these properties with the vision of safeguarding their historical value and unlocking their potential as community and commercial assets. This ambitious restoration project aims to transform these buildings into modern commercial offices, a training complex and community café.
Montrose Port is dedicated to keeping the community involved and informed throughout every stage of the Customs House Restoration Project. We invite residents, stakeholders, and heritage enthusiasts to join us in celebrating this historic landmark.
If you have stories, photos, or memories of the Customs House in its prime, we would love for you to share them with us. Your contributions will help bring the Customs House’s rich history to life for future generations.
