Lacolle station

Its address is 21 rue Ste-Marie adjacent to the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) Lacolle Subdivision.

A large piece of land surrounds it and a long yard is located on the other side of the tracks.

Today the building is abandoned, but acquisition of the station from Canadian Pacific Railway is almost complete as of October 2011 by the municipality of Lacolle.

The station is planned to be a municipal museum; the historical society would also have space for a conference room (as told by local newspapers and the mayor of Lacolle).

In 1881, the Napierville Junction Railway was created to build a line from Rouses Point, New York to Montreal, Quebec.

After the line was completed Lacolle had already built a wooden railway station (construction date never found) that was later ravaged by flames in 1929.

The Napierville Junction was given the same track that the D&H's subsidiary company, the New York & Canada Railroad had built the year before from the border to Rouses Point.

Designed by Montreal architect Charles Reginald Tetley, its resemblance to a Normandy manor house reflects the romantic view of its American owners towards the architecture of Old Quebec, and their desire to signify to American travelers that they had arrived in a francophone province.
