Stanstead, Quebec - Library Straddling USA and Canada

Built in 1901 in memory of Carlos F. Haskell and opened in 1904, the Haskell Free Library and Opera house building is probably one of a kind because it was built right on the US and Canada border! 40% of the building is in Derby Line, Vermont, and the other 60% is in Rock Island (Stanstead), Quebec. Painted on the floor is a bright red line that separates the US from the Canadian side. It was featured in "Ripley's Believe It Or Not."

If you go west on Railroad Street, the name of the street changes to Canusa (alias for Canada-Usa). The houses on one side of the street are in the US and in Canada on the other side. [Gen, 02/08/2005]
