Bluffs Coffee Shop Historic Structure Report
Opperman JK, JKOA, Anderson JP. 2018. Bluffs Coffee Shop Historic Structure Report
This Historic Structure Report (HSR) documents the development, use, and current condition of Bluffs Coffee Shop at Doughton Park on the Blue Ridge Parkway (BLRI). It examines options for potential uses and treatments. The National Park Service (NPS) will use this report to inform and guide its stewardship of this historic building. The report is divided into two major segments, Part I: Developmental History, and Part II: Treatment & Use. Part I is organized into three sections that address the historical background in sequence, first addressing the background and context, followed by a chronology of development and use, and finally a description and assessment of current condition. Part II: Treatment and Use is divided into four sections which present the recommended “ultimate treatments and uses” for the building, evaluates alternatives, and reviews the requirements that circumscribe them. A bibliography precedes the appendices, which contain the original 1948 architectural drawings, as well as scaled documentation drawings of the current floor, foundation, roof plan, and characterizing historic details of Bluffs Coffee Shop.
