Kay for the lovely picture. I remember your stating that you were part Indian and that is obviously an Indian name, is it Cherokee? I also admire the craftmanship of the building and the preservation efforts to keep it in such good shape on blustery Cape Hatteras(spelling?).

Nice that we are preserving the old places.

Beautiful structure - thank you Kay!

Beautiful place beautifully photographed.

Ahhhhh,
Lovely Cape Hatteras. My husband and I rode our Harleys down there and it was one of our most memorable trips. The people were just so hospitable. Every local knew we were on their tiny island and went out of their way to make our stay most enjoyable. Not to mention the incredible More...

Love the architecture.

Shar, the eastern band of the Cherokees stayed mostly in the "high country", the mountains in NC. I haven't been able to find the source of the name "Chicamacomico" in a quick search, but I suspect that it came from the Croatans, who inhabited the northeastern coastal area in NC.

The actual lifesaving station was a much larger, shingled building. This little structure was the boathouse, the lifeblood of lifesaving operations. It was used mostly as a barn during the 20th century, until historians rediscovered it and started preservation efforts.

Very nice pic enjoyed the puzzle thanks

Great picture Kay! And unusual architecture made the puzzle that bit more difficult. Thanks

Thanks again Kay for the beautiful photo and the history lesson.

Thanks, Kay, for another fine photo!
