Built by a private contractor for the Army Corps of Engineers around 1915, Jetty Workers’ House #2 was built to house workers constructing the jetty at Cape Lookout Bight. The present structure, which is a contributing structure in the National Register listed Cape Lookout Village Historic District, is the result of a series of alterations and additions, some of which occurred during the historic period. Although it has a relatively new, metal roof, the house is in poor condition, with the some of the latest additions being in the poorest condition. Vernacular design and construction broadly define the character of the house. Like most of the other buildings at Cape Lookout Village, the house is a simple, utilitarian structure that was built in response to specific needs and circumstances, with little consideration of architectural style or refinement of detail.
