Building the Compass Rose Cottage

This Blog is to record the construction of our ocean beach cottage. It will be a wonderful record for us, but also a way to spread the word to friends, family, and future guests.

Our Town

The town where we are building the Compass Rose cottage is called Seabrook, on the Washington coast. Click the link for more information.



What is a "compass rose?"

A compass rose is a symbol used on maps and for navigation that shows the main points of a compass - north, south, east & west. The term "rose" comes from the figure's compass points resembling the petals of the flower.

Originally, this symbol was used to indicate the directions of the winds. It has been used on sailing ships and nautical maps since the 1300's.

We decided to call our cottage "Compass Rose" because we loved the nautical theme for the beach and our address is on Compass Street!
