A Roanoke landmark may be losing its steam.

The Coffee Pot might close by the end of the year.

However, there’s a chance the historic roadhouse could remain open if The Coffee Pot's owner can find someone to take over the business. Someone he hopes can keep its well-known and loved traditions.

If you're driving on Brambleton Avenue, you can't miss the iconic coffee pot structure on the roof of the building made of stucco and logs.

It was built in 1936 and was originally a filling station and tea room, but later turned into a roadhouse.

In 1996, it was registered on the National Register of Historic Places.

In fact, it's the only Roanoke Valley roadhouse that is still in business.

The Coffee Pot is also known for the many musical acts it's attracted over the years.
