Whalehead Club, Art Nouveau mansion in Corolla, United States.
The 21,000-square-foot residence features a copper roof, mahogany doors, and bright yellow exterior walls overlooking the Currituck Sound in North Carolina.
Edward and Marie Louise Knight constructed this waterfront residence between 1922 and 1925 as an alternative to male-only hunting clubs in the region.
The mansion contains period-specific elements including cork-tile flooring, wood-paneled walls, and Tiffany lily light fixtures throughout its three-story interior.
The mansion opens Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, offering guided tours that present original furnishings and architectural details.
The property includes a six-foot-deep channel that was manually dug to create an island connected to the mainland during its initial construction.
