Abstract:

Newer beach homes along the Outer Banks are incredibly large and luxurious and can often block the view of the ocean. By comparison, houses built in the late 19th-century look like poor relations; yet many of the old-timers still stand, while newer models have fallen victim to storms. Architect Frank Harmon discusses the \"how to\" and \"how not to\" when constructing a modern-day beach home.
