Description
The central white building housed the Five Islands’ general store and post office in 1910. It was conveniently close to the landing where goods and mail arrived.
The two-story building with the ramp was called the “Love Nest,” despite its history of industrial uses, which included canning and sewing. At one time, however, many young couples starting their lives together rented the top floor.
Hendricks Head Light on the Southport shore was located across the water on the left.
