Description
The historic former U.S. Border Inspection Station at since-demolished Union Bridge in Calais, Maine was constructed with federal Treasury Department funds. The facility, located by the river on Todd Street, was completed in January 1939. The facility, since altered, was sold in 1962. Living New Deal is unsure of the building’s present status, though satellite imagery suggests that the building still stands, heavily altered.

The building currently serves as a private home, although several additions and modifications have been made over the years.
