    The former U.S. Inspection Station at the Canadian border north of Sherwood, North Dakota (along Route 28) was constructed with federal Treasury Department funds during the 1930s. A completion photograph of the facility taken June 3, 1937 resides in the National Archives. The photo shown shows a secondary facility, likely used for storage.
