U.S. limits Canadian access to iconic Stanstead, Que., border-straddling library, local officials say [View all]
The U.S. government is making it more difficult for Canadians to access the Stanstead, Que., library, an iconic building that straddles both borders, according to town and library officials.
The Haskell Free Library and Opera House, built in 1904, has been declared a heritage site on both sides of the border and has long been considered a symbol of harmony between Canada and the U.S.
The border line literally runs across the floor of the building, but the entrance is on the American side in Derby Line, Vt.
Until now, the library was considered a neutral location, allowing visitors to visit without having to go through all the procedures of a normal border, with patrol officers ensuring that everyone goes back to where they came from.
