This study of the historical and architectural significance of the Kelley School/Pate Store/Ware Store is based on background research, oral history, and other research and fieldwork that took place between September 1988 and July 1989. This study unfolds chronologically, starting with the settlement of the Kelley family in Floyd County, the development of the Kelley School, the Pate residence and store operation on the site, the O.B. Ware county-store era, and finally the acquisition and management of the site by the Blue Ridge Parkway and National Park Service. We offer suggestions for additional research and recommendations for future management of this important cultural resource. Rounding out the report are appendices that contain all pertinent documents, photographs, and resources, and an annotated bibliography.
