Powder Ridge Club stands as one of the last traces of Duck's rich waterfowl heritage. Built by Wall Street brokers in the 1920's and operated through the 1940's, it was distinctive for a unique set of whalebones adorning the front, which earned it the nickname "The Whalebone Club." Betty and Duck Braithwaite purchased the club, and it became known as Duck's Cottage. Their children preserved it as a testament to the great era of waterfowl hunting along the shores of the Carrituck Sound.
