The Life-saving stations like Kitty Hawk typically built after the 1857 North Carolina Hurricane. They generally consisted of a crew of seven men, a keeper who acted as a captain and six other men who volunteered because of their experience as mariners, sailors and fishermen. The station's first keeper was W.D. Tate who was replaced by a man named James R. Hobbs.[3]
In 1911, a watch room above the second floor living quarters was added.[1]
