CURRITUCK FOLK
MOVE TO SAVE
KNAPP MANSION
Oppose Destruction Of Home Of
county's Benefactor; Should
Save It For Museum

The residence on Mackey Island
of the Late Joseph P. Knapp, whose
liberal contributions of money and
influence did so much to provide
Currituck County with a model
school system back in the 20's has
become of much concern to patriot
ic-minded citizens of the county
who view with alarm, the prospect
of the property being sold and torn
down.
Mackey Island, formerly the
home of the late Thomas Dixon,
celebrated North Carolinian, was
bought by his friend, Joseph P.
Knapp after Dixon got in financial
troubles through real estate invest
ments in the N. c. Mountains. Mr..
Knapp built a beautiful mansion
and made it his home. Some years
after his death, the property was
bought by a timberman in Virginia
who wrecked the woods after TAX
ing the trees off 1.-THE home was
allowed to fall into poor condition.
Later it was sold to the U. s. Wild
life, Service for game refuge.
The wildlife service having no
use for the mansion reported to
be ready to let it go. General John
E. Wood, of Currituck, a distin-
gushed citizen, has risen strongly
in objection to its disposal as sur
plus property, and thinks it should
be maintained as a historical at
traction. He has called for the Con-
CHEESEMAN'S intercession with the
Department of the Interior to stop
this dissertation.
Representative Walton Griggs of
Currituck County says he has found
a rising tide of Indignation in his
county over the prospect of losing
the home. He agrees with General
Wood that it might be well con-
verified into an Albemarle Historical
Museum.
