About Border Crossing Facility
Border Crossing Facility is the one Recognized Federal Heritage Building in Coaticook. Border Crossing Facility went up in 1954–1956. Its design is credited to J.F. DeBelleval.
The Border Crossing Facility, also known as the Customs Building, is located at the Canadian border along Highway 147 in Stanhope, Québec. The sleek, geometrical International Style design of the building consists of a two-storey, flat-roofed structure composed of horizontal and vertical forms. A variety of window openings, asymmetrically placed to correspond to interior functions, contribute to a streamlined appearance, as do the smooth, granite clad surface planes that define the building’s facades. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.
