U.S. Border Station Garage, Derby Line, VT
Location: 84 Main St, Derby Line, VT 05830
The garage at the Derby Line border station is a well preserved example of a Prohibition-era inspection shed. Located along the southern edge of the site, the eight-bay building, which is furnished with multi-pane sash, complements the Georgian Revival design of the main building. The garage is similar in program to the four-bay wings flanking most contemporary border stations, including an inspection pit. The building retains its original plan, form, window and interior finishes. Major changes include the installation of simulated clapboard substitute siding over the original clapboards, and replacement of the original paneled doors.
