Description
The former U.S. Inspection Station at the Canadian border north of Westhope, North Dakota (along Route 83) was constructed with federal Treasury Department funds during the 1930s. Completion photographs of the facility taken Sept. 4, 1937 reside in the National Archives.
The photo shown shows a secondary facility, likely used for storage. A building fitting the building’s visual description appeared on Google Street View imagery from 2008; however, an even newer facility appears to have been constructed since that time, so no part of the original New Deal construction is in existence today.
