A small office for the Customs and Immigration inspectors stationed at the port is accessed from door opening off the canopied driveway. Residential quarters for the officers and their families consisted of living rooms and kitchens at the rear of the first floor, which were accessed by enclosed private entrances on both sides of the building; bedrooms and bathrooms were located on the second floor An identical size border inspection station was constructed in Alburgh Springs, Vt. in 1937, and it too is still in operation today.
