Manteo Historic Home, Then and Now

April 1, 2010

Brinkley House, yard with adirondack chairs, whitewashed elm, grape arbor, circa 1940's.

Imagine a sunny day 70 years ago. Fish are biting, crabs are plentiful. Fresh tomatoes and corn from the garden. Nice cool breeze off the water.

Over the years, the Brinkley house is forgotten… fallen into disrepair.

There’s potential buried under that lonely exterior.

Old siding is removed, and the Brinkley House is readied for its new location in the new Marshes Light Subdivision, 2007.
