And, from memory, this was done on purpose with the library straddling the border http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haskell_Free_Library_and_Opera_House From wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanstead,_Quebec The original owners were a couple with dual nationality; Mr. Carlos F. Haskell was an American businessman from Derby Line who owned a number of sawmills, while Mrs. Haskell was born in Canada. The intent was that people on both sides of the border would have use of the facility, which is now a designated historic site. On 05/09/2013 4:31 PM, David Patte ₯ wrote:
From Wikipedia:
The Tomifobia River <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomifobia_River> runs through the town of Stanstead, dividing the U.S./Canadian border at times. Along portions of Canada's Canusa Street <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canusa_Street>, houses on the southern end of the street lie entirely within Vermont, while their driveways direct northward, and connect to the street in Quebec, as the northern portions of their properties are within Canada. These residents' backyard neighbours are American, while families living right across the street are Canadian, though no noticeable boundary exists between the two (the street itself is entirely within Canada). In other places, the international border runs through individual homes, so that meals prepared in one country are eaten in the other. An entire tool-and-die factory, once operated by the Butterfield division of Litton Industries <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litton_Industries>, is also divided in two by the border.^[16] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanstead,_Quebec#cite_note-16>
