Whalehead Club was a historic hunting club located in Corolla, Currituck County, North Carolina. The clubhouse was built as a private hunting retreat on the grounds of the Lighthouse Club between 1922 and 1925. It consists of a three-story, five bay, central block flanked by lower blocks with screened in porches. All three blocks are capped by steep gable roofs with dormers. During World War II, the property was leased by the United States Coast Guard.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

This beautiful piece of American History hearkened back to Newport, Rhode Island and all that went with it. The house was beautifully appointed. The docents were well versed in all the history. This was well worth the trip and the modest price of admission. No photos are permitted inside. But the decor! Oh my goodness, decadent and unique.

A beautiful and interesting place. A huge home built by a very rich family when the area was barely developed. Take the house tour it is worth the small charge. Visit the 1800s church and see the lighthouse and grounds.
