"The San Juan Customs House is one of the buildings in Old San Juan that is part of the National Register of Historic Places. It was established on the islet of San Juan in the 18th century. However, the current building was built by order of the United States government in 1924. The structure displays a plateresque style that is characterized by Gothic and Renaissance: A movement of cultural revitalization that arose in Western Europe during the 15th and 16th centuries. During this period, the study of classical Greek and Latin antiquity was embraced with enthusiasm, and great prominence was given to the arts, politics, and science. The Renaissance was characterized by an anthropocentric vision, a departure from medieval theocentrism elements". --Description from Puerto Rico Historic Buildings Drawings Society, Aduana de San Juan (U.S. Custom House).
