Currituck Beach Lighthouse

Little Keeper's House--Southwest View
circa 1982 - 8"x10" color print

The dilapidated Little Keeper's House was "discovered" when dense growth was removed during the restoration of the larger duplex Keepers' House. Its construction apparently dates back to the early 1870s when it was located near Coinjock on the opposite side of Currituck Sound. There it served as a residence at the Long Point Lighthouse Depot--a federal government installation from which lighthouse materials were shipped to regional lighthouse facilities. The building was moved to the lighthouse site around 1920 to serve as a residence.
