Flyway Club, located on Knotts Island in Currituck County, is one of a small number of remaining waterfowl hunting lodges established in the early twentieth century in the northeast corner ofNorth Carolina. Ogden Mills Reid (1882- 1947), editor ofthe New York Herald Tribune, and his wife, Helen Rogers Reid ( 1882-1970), president and chairman of the Herald Tribune, had the lodge at Flyway Club built in 1920 in order to host hunting excursions for friends and business and political associates as well as to provide a family retreat. From 1928 to 1930, they built the large outbuilding, known as the farm building, to house farm animals , servants, and equipment for the rural estate. When a Christmas Eve fire destroyed the lodge in 1958, Ogden Rogers Reid , the original owner' s son who received the property as a wedding present from his mother, had it rebuilt in 1960. Currituck County gained prominence as a duck hunting locale beginning in the mid-nineteenth century, especially among wealthy and prominent northeasterners who built lodges along the sound. Along with the Reids, George Eastman of Eastman-Kodak, the DuPonts, and magazine publisher Joseph P. Knapp, built lodges in northeastern North Carolina. Flyway Club remained in the Reid family until late 2013 when the Conservation Fund purchased it in order to ensure the preservation of the buildings and conservation of the Reid land . Flyway Club meets National Register Criterion A in the area of Entertainment/Recreation as a rare surviving complex associated with the history of waterfowl hunting in Currituck County, a tradition that began in the mid-nineteenth century . The property meets Criterion C for the architectural significance of the Colonial Revival-style lodge and farm building. Inspired by early colonial architecture and postmedieval E nglish prototypes, 1960 Flyway Club is one of the few remaining grand hunting lodges in northeast North Carolina. The farm building holds significance in the area of architecture as a rare local example of a large, Colonial Revival-style agricultural building constructed to reflect the aesthetic of the American Country House Movement. The period of significance for Flyway Club is 1928, the date of construction of the farm building, to 1965, in accordance with the fifty-year National Register standard. Although the family owned and continued to use the Flyway Club for fowl hunting after 1965, the period after that date does not possess exceptional significance.
