Despite heavy showers in the
forenoon, Odessa played host to
more than $50 visitors from widely
scattered points last Sunday when
it opened its historic old homes
and buildings to the public for the
first time.
Although the outlook seemed
bleak for the first Odessa Dav in
the morning the skies cleared by
early afternoon, bringing carloads
of people to the quaint little village
% miles south of Wilmington. Many
of the visitors were lovers of an
tiques and early colonial architec-
ture which abound in Odessa.
The tour of the town featured
public inspection of eight outstand-
ing showplaces. One of the most
nopular spots was the Corbit
House, now owned by H. Rodney
Sharp of Wilmington. A beautiful
example of Georgian colonial arch
itectnre, the house was built in 1772
for William Corbit. a tannerv on
orator. 1t was occupied by his de-
scendants until 1888 when it was
bought by Mr.. Sharp who has re-
stored and furnished il with au-
