NPS Restoring Little Kinnakeet LSS - 11/16/05 09:11 PM
Little Kinnakeet Lifesaving Station in the Cape Hatteras National Seashore is getting a facelift!
It is being restored to the 1904-15 period and is still under repair in many stages. By the end of 2005, bathrooms will be stabilized and a new roof will replace the badly needed one.
Another project fund has been requested to restore the entire lifesaving station with furnishings and the boathouse.
Below are photos I took in an NPS warehouse of some items in storage that will be returned to Little Kinnakeet...

The entire restoration is estimated to be complete in 2011.
For some excellent photo coverage of the buildings, check out Stephen Wilmoth's site Little Kinnakeet LSS
Stay tuned!
