This historic structure report (HSR) is a Level I report consisting of two volumes. Volume I includes the historical background and context of the building and its physical evolution and description; Volume II contains the appendices.

This report is Volume II- B of a three- volume historic structures report (HSR) for Weir Farm National Historic Site (NHS). Volumes I and IA address the Weir house, Weir studio, and Young studio, and include the historical background and context for the entire Weir Farm National Historic Site. Volume II- A addresses the Weir barn and the remaining outbuildings on the Weir complex site. Volume II- B describes the two buildings of the caretaker's complex, which was also part of the original Weir farm. While this report is intended to stand on its own, reference should be made to Volume I for more detail on the relationship of the caretaker's buildings to the site as a whole.

The Assateague Beach Coast Guard Station station house, garage, and boathouse are part of the Assateague Island National Seashore (NS). The station house and the garage (the original boathouse) were built in 1922 when U.S. Coast Guard Station 150 was established at the southern end of Assateague Island in Assateague, Virginia. When the boathouse was constructed in 1938- 39 on Tom's Cove to the north of the station house, the original boathouse was converted to a garage. The Assateague Beach Coast Guard station was decommissioned in 1967, and the same year the site became part of the Assateague Island (ASIS) NS. Lack of park operating funds and infrequent usage of the site has resulted in increased deferred maintenance and a resulting loss of historic fabric. The buildings will require significant work that would potentially affect important features, necessitating the identification of the character- defining features to ensure the preservation of the structures' integrity, and to provide guidance for the reuse and preservation of the structures. This draft historic structure report for the Assateague Beach Coast Guard Station structures is an abbreviated Level II report. It was prepared for Assateague Island NS by the Building Conservation Branch (BCB) of the National Park Service's Northeast Cultural Resources Center. Preparation of this report began with historical and archival research, and physical and photographic documentation of the structures, which was conducted by BCB Architectural Conservators Maureen K. Phillips and John A. Scott. According to the terms of the project agreement, no fabric analysis (e.g., paint analysis, mortar analysis, etc.) was performed. The report was written by Architectural Conservator Maureen K. Phillips.
