Briefly Summarizing Known History Of The Property:
West Morehead Street
developed in the 1920's as a major commercial corridor. As automobiles and
trucks became the principal means of transportation, seeing as S. Clarkson
Street is located directly off of West Morehead Street, it was only logical
that diners eateries, such as The Coffee Cup became part of the streetscape.
