These nifty little rentals on Ocracoke Island, NC, have a very interesting history. They began as Naval Base quarters along Pamlico Sound. Later (the base closed in the mid 1940s) they were moved and used as hunting cabins. Subsequent to that, they were relocated once again and are today among the tinies rentals on the island. They're popular with hunters still, and some of them are reportedly rented by the same people year after year. They feel like "The Little Cottages That Could" to me, due to their perseverance. (Yes, I'm anthropomorphizing. Their survival is due to the efforts of folks who care.) They are actually known as The Wagon Wheel Cottages. This original painting is done in watercolor and color pencil. Dianne Lorden
