Mattie Midgette's Store: 4008 South Virginia Dare Trail, Nags Head NC
252-564-5317 ~ info@osob.net
Miidgette's Store is the oldest commercial structure in Nags Head. In 2004 it was listed in the
National Register of Historic Places for its role in the development of the Nags Head resort from
1914 through 1960. It is eligible for use as an Owner Occupied Art Gallery or an Artisan's Workshop,
as described in the Town Codes.
Contrary to what many people believe, the listing of a property in the National Register
places no obligations or restrictions on a private owner using private resources to maintain
or alter their property. Over the years, various federal incentives have been introduced to
assist private preservation initiatives. A private owner of a National Register property
becomes obligated to follow federal preservation standards only if the owner seeks and
receives a special benefit that derives from National Register designation, such as a
grant or a tax credit. NRHP FAQS
The Town of Nags Head does not have any local preservation laws, such as a Historic
Landmark Commission, that poses restrictions on historic property owners.
All artifacts and furnishings will be removed from the building upon final sale.
