About 300 cars a day use the Richford–Abercorn Border Crossing,[1] located in a rural setting in northern Richford and southern Abercorn.

The United States station is about 200 feet (61 m) south of the border, on the west side of the road.

The main building block is three bays wide, with a center entrance providing access to separate spaces for processing immigration and customs.

The entrance is flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a transom, with a keystoned brick arch pattern above.

Its construction was prompted by an increase in automobile traffic, and a rise in smuggling activities occasioned by the years of Prohibition in the 1920s, and illegal immigration across the northern border.
