A red fishing shack at the end of a granite wharf in Rockport, Mass., is an unlikely celebrity. The picturesque old building, known as Motif No. 1, may be the most painted building in the United States — if not the world. It has also appeared in movies, as an award-winning float, on magazine covers, on a postage stamp, in a 1960s Winston cigarette ad and as a Kentucky bourbon bottle. The original shack was originally built circa 1884-85. Today’s Motif or “Motive,” as the locals call it is actually a replica. Rockport rebuilt it after the Blizzard of ’78 destroyed the first one.
