line house
A line house is a building deliberately so located that an international boundary passes through it.〔Farfan, Matthew (2009). ''The Vermont-Quebec Border: Life on the Line''. Arcadia Publishing. ISBN 0738565148〕 The term is perhaps more frequently used in reference to the boundary between New England and eastern Canada than to other places. The most well known such building on the boundary between the United States and Canada is the Haskell Free Library and Opera House in Stanstead, Quebec and Derby Line, Vermont. The border is marked on the floor in a reading room and an auditorium. A number of single-family residences and some industrial buildings straddle the boundary in those two towns. During the years 1920–1933, when alcoholic beverages were prohibited in the United States some businesses had front doors in Vermont and served alcohol within the same building in Quebec.
