| Ocracoke Post Office, ca. 1957 |
A brick Post Office replaced the 1952 building in 1967. In 1997 the Post Office was relocated to its present site on NC12 across from Howard's Pub. A few years later the 1957 building was moved and turned into a rental cottage, and the 1967 building was repurposed as a gift shop.
I wonder how many of our readers can tell me where the 1957 Post Office originally stood, and where it is now located, and which gift shop occupies the brick building. Please leave a comment if you know.

ReplyDeleteCaptain's Cargo gift shop is located in the 1967 building (the brick building next to Bluff Shoal Motel). But where was the 1957 building located...and where is it now?
ReplyDeleteSorry...no prize under your chair.
The 1957 Post Office was located where Down Point Decoys is today. It was moved just a short distance...to behind Captain's Cargo gift shop...and was converted to a pleasant rental cottage.
ReplyDeleteWhat a moving and uplifting story.
