Mooers–Hemmingford Border Crossing, Border crossing station between New York and Quebec, United States and Canada.
The Mooers-Hemmingford Border Crossing connects upstate New York with the Quebec region of Canada at an active international boundary. The facility includes a main inspection building with supporting wings and a covered inspection area for processing vehicles in both directions.
The Mooers Border Inspection Station was built in 1932, one of seven border stations erected along the New York–Canada line between 1931 and 1934. It was designed by Louis A. Simon, Superintending Architect of the Treasury, in the Colonial Revival style. The building was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
The station's name comes from the two towns it links, Mooers, New York, and Hemmingford, Quebec. Its Colonial Revival design by Louis A. Simon, with a steep slate roof and dormers, marks it as one of seven surviving border stations built on the New York–Canada line between 1931 and 1934. Visitors can still see the original oak counter tops inside, the only ones kept among those seven stations.
The crossing is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, on both the Canadian and American sides. It is reached via Quebec Route 219 in Canada and Hemmingford Road, the former New York State Route 22, in the United States. Parking is available south of the US station, and cars approach the building from the north along an oval drive.
The location sits within farmland and includes formal plantings of evergreen trees plus a historic inspector's residence standing empty on raised foundations. This rural setting makes the facility an unusual setting for an international inspection station.
