My son works at the next building north, same side, which used to be the border station, but is now a restaurant. The old front portico makes a great patio.

Sure, I'd like to see it. Please send to bill@baron.net Let me know if there are places along the border that interest you. Odds are I have something, if not taken by me then by someone else.

You know some new Nazi.

I have posted a photo of it from slightly better days. I guess it looks like a barn (with windows), but it's proximity to the border presents all kinds of possibilities.

Too bad C Molson never answered. To answer your question, his house is only maybe 30 feet from the border. If you look closely, you can see the boundary marker just past the bird bath. He has a flagpole made from a real tree that still flies the maple leaf. Interesting that the road on the US side has almost completely reforested itself. I would love to see a photo of this place when it was still a border station.

Not too many in this area. There's a bunch in Vermont though. That said, there proabably isn't more than a dozen buildings across the country that the boundary runs through (not counting joint border stations).

Yes, they don't usually bother with small barricaded roads like this one, but they did go down Knoxford Road to the border at Listerville. That's a new add because I was just looking there a couple weeks ago and it wasn't there.

Here's something that has changed: In the picture I posted showing the US border station, there was an old white house in the background. Google Earth shows that it no longer exists. Just an empty lot.

I've heard it both ways - Is this area called "Starkey Corners" or "Starkey's Corner".
Did you live there when you could still cross to and from Canada?
