Mattie Midgett Store and House

The two-story wooden structure includes a general store section and living quarters with steep gable roofs and shingled exterior walls.

Built in 1914 for the store and expanded in 1933 with residential space, this building served the local community until its relocation in 1932.

The building functions as the Outer Banks Beachcomber Museum, displaying collections of coastal artifacts including shells, glass, and bottles.

Located at 4008 South Virginia Dare Trail, the museum maintains regular hours for visitors interested in early twentieth-century coastal architecture.

The structure combines commercial and residential spaces in a T-shaped design that exemplifies traditional Outer Banks construction methods.
