Toll building?

This web article is about a 'maison de la barrière', a 'toll house':
Au pied de la Montagne Sainte-Barbe existait autrefois une « maison de la barrière ». Cette appellation curieuse, qu’on retrouve encore de nos jours dans quelques noms de lieu (Barrière de Champlon, Barrière Hinck, etc.), désigne tout simplement l’ancêtre des péages qui jalonnent certaines autoroutes, françaises notamment.

Yvonne Gallagher
: agree if this is about historic toll houses. Not enough context

: It would be a toll house, not a "toll building". However, toll houses weren't specifically at the gate in a city wall, which might be what this is.

Hello
I can't find a term for this so maybe a translation that sounds plausible as if the term existed and describes it adequately as the French does?

B D Finch
: I think that associating a toll house with a thoroughfare is quite wrong. A toll house or toll booth would be found on a turnpike or toll road.// Think history, not modern. Probably, the barrier was a city wall and the toll was for entering the city.

Exactly, and then it's probably a building with an arch where you pass from one jurisdiction into another one which is a customs area !

It may not be as nearly as elaborate as this, but I kind of imagined it as:

Histoire
1. Clôture dressée à l'entrée d'une ville pour interdire le passage aux voitures et permettre la perception des droits d'octroi.
2. Bureau de perception des droits d'octroi, établi près de cette clôture. (Au xviiie s., Paris possédait 60 barrières, situées à l'entrée des faubourgs. De 1783 à 1789, Ledoux en érigea de nouvelles[appelées « propylées »] aux principales ouvertures percées dans le mur d'enceinte des fermiers généraux.)
