Biographical history

The first Customs house was built in 1860. There were 8 customs houses all together. The Osoyoos Customs House was built in Osoyoos between 1901 and 1902. It remained in Osoyoos until 1930 when a new customs house was built at the Canada-US border. Both the Osoyoos customs house and the border customs house
had corrals beside them to hold livestock prior to inspection by a veterinarian. In Osoyoos, the veterinarian lived across the street from the customs house while the customs officer lived in the customs house itself.

Custodial history

Donated by Dorothy Lewis in 2004.
