Motif No.1 – Perhaps the symbol of Rockport to many, the red fish shack that was dubbed Motif #1 by an art instructor from Paris, Lester Hornby, years ago. This building is the most depicted building in the world.

Said to be the "most painted building in America"... and you can see it from Tuna Wharf! You will likely see a picture or painting of the Motif in nearly every shop and restaurant on Bearskin Neck..it's a game I play with myself....how many can I spot in one day!
