NAGS HEAD TOWN BUILDINGS SOLD, HAULED AWAY THE THREE, SIX-SIDED STRUCTURES WILL BE CONVERTED INTO RENTAL COTTAGES.

A trio of six-sided structures that have served as the Nags Head town meeting hall, police department and administrative complex since 1975, were moved out of town Thursday.

City officials and staffers moved into a new complex March 3, across the street from the familiar circular structures, which were sold.

``Those buildings served the town immensely well,'' Nags Head Town Manager Webb Fuller said.

The 1,400-square-foot buildings were moved about six miles in a slow, traffic-stopping convoy along the U.S. 158 Bypass, with North Carolina Power employees shifting electric lines.

Bray's House Movers and Abode House Movers collaborated to move the modular units.

According to Bill Jones of Jones and Parker L.L.C., who purchased the buildings, each will be converted into three-bedroom seasonal rentals on Seventh and Cardinal avenues in Kill Devil Hills. ILLUSTRATION: Color photo by DREW C. WILSON/The Virginian-Pilot

These three old Nags Head municipal buildings are leaving town for

Kill Devil Hills, about six miles away, where they will be made into

cottages.
