A snowbound picture of the old United State Border Station taken by port director, Burl Brooks Beane The picture is taken facing south towards United States.
The old building was as a border station from August 1932 until February 1990 when the current building was opened.
Love the look of the old building. The newer one looks to modern and cold.
ReplyDeleteI agree! The old building was built with real interesting architectural details that made it a real treasure. I am really glad they moved it instead of tearing it down.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful building and it would be nice to restore it and recreate it as a Customs museum complete with the desks, chairs, old photos that many of the older citizens of Sumas may have as part of their private collection. There is a lot of history here for us to uncover and be proud of.
ReplyDeleteI agree it would make a beautiful museum building. I thought it would simply make a nice community museum while devoting a room to the U.S. Customs and another room to the railroad.
