Abstract:

Along Currituck Sound is a grand estate formerly known as the Whalehead Club. The article describes the history of this notable home from its inception to its current use as a private home. Built by railroad tycoon, it reportedly cost $360,000. The extravagant home, located in a remote area, has strong ties with local fishing industry. A lighthouse is located on the property behind the house to guide commercial fisherman, who are working around this opulent palace built on the sound.
