Located on the Outer Banks, in Corolla, NC, this mansion has a lot of history and innovations for a home built in 1922. "Edward Collings Knight Jr. and his wife Marie Louise shared a passion for hunting waterfowl. But in those days, Mrs. Knight wasn't welcomed in the all-male hunt clubs. Mr. Knight's answer was to build a 21,000-square-foot mansion by the sea, just for his bride."

About 1922 women-emancipation was a pretty unknown phenomenon.
Apparently Marie Louisse was frustrated about that.
Maybe to compensate it, her hubby offered her this small 'present'.
It's still there in al its glory, Ted.
Very good shot of this mansion!

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins! Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.
