Standing before the building, with its Colonial Californiano door topped by a stained glass lunette window flanked by wrought iron grilled windows, is a handsome couple - a gentleman wearing a wide-brimmed cowboy had accompanying a lady in a canary yellow dress. The Old Customs House holds the distinction of being the first designated California Historical Landmark as well as the site where Commodore John Drake Sloat raised the US flag to declare that California was part of the United States.
