THE STATION AT WYNNE’S GUT
Built in 1963, The Station at Wynne’s Gut began its life as a Gulf gas station in the heart of downtown Belhaven, NC. Designed in a classic mid-century modern style, the building featured an office on the right-hand side and three bays with glass doors on the left, where mechanics serviced cars from across eastern North Carolina.
