BLOCKADE RUNNER MOTOR HOTEL
\MRIGHTSVILLE BEACH, NORTH CAROLINA
Poised like a blockade runner of old between rolling surf and a calm blue
sound, this luxurious hotel surrounds its guests with pleasures. They usually surrender
quickly.
Among ihe modern, luxurious facilities of this uncrowded resort: all guest
rooms overlook water . . . six spacious dining and meeting rooms a sweeping
oceanside terrace and swimming pool . . . miles of beach fun.
Time-saving and economical construction made full use of Solite's lightweight
structural concrete and masonry units. Dead load was substantially reduced in
floors, roof deck, columns, walls and partitions. Lower weight was important to
the foundation piling, and in the use of lightweight reinforced concrete and prestressed
T's in the frame.
Embodying modern design at work with versatile materials, the Blockade Runner
makes a chirming "island of pleasure" for conventions or personal vacations.
