Good that you found them helpful. Just note, you can't legally cross the border here. However, it is a good place to launch a boat to raft down the Flathead River.
I was saddened to read in a new book about the Maine-New Brunswick "Imaginary Line" by Jacques Poitras that the Petersens have passed away. The author suggests the stress put on them by the US Border Patrol by not allowing them to have any visitors hastened their death.
Hello have you mail? You can give it to me please or can write to me to my it runs please I want to know mas on this photo this zone plase secretso12@hotmail.com
Sadly, this port of entry has closed. It once was among the busiest on the US - Canada border. Back when there weren't many roads, the Jefferson Highway went all the way from Winnipeg to New Orleans. This is where it crossed the border. But traffic waned when I-29 was built just a mile to the west, and it finally closed in 2006.
My memory is not that good. Border stations will fly their flags at half mast if former presidents or members of congress die, or if an INS or Customs officer is killed in the line of duty. Also state governors can call for the lowering of flags.
This is a commonly photographed building because of the huge boundary marker right by the front door. I recall seeing a picture of it (and it's owner at the time) in the 1983 book about the US-Canada border "Lakes Peaks and Praries".

Tom, that's cool! Do you have any photos from the old days? I'd love to see how this place used to look. You can reach me at bill@baron.net.

The old border post is opposite this land - on the south side of the road.
