Historic Structure Report: Cape Lookout Village, Lewis-Davis House
According to the National Register nomination, the house was built by Carrie Davis around 1930. However, research and building investigation during the course of this report indicates that the house was actually built perhaps ten years earlier by James C. Lewis, a long-time employee of the Coast Guard at Cape Lookout. Lewis retired from the Coast Guard in 1931 and, around that time, sold the house to Carrie Arrended Davis. It is not clear if Davis actually lived in the house, since by about 1935, she had built a larger house next to the store and dance hall that she owned on the shore of the bight. Located just south of the old Coast Guard dock, the store and dance hall were focal points for life at the Cape in the 1930s and 1940s. The commanding officer at the army base at Cape Lookout occupied the house during World War II. After Davis' death in 1955, her daughter inherited the house and maintained a lease on the property until it expired in 2002.
