Not from what I have seen.

I have spent many hours searching on the web and I have yet to find
dozens of observatories that have been well documented so others can
learn and build on their work.

Well, I just said "dozens", not dozens with published plans.

If anyone has GOOD links to observatories that are well documented, I
would love to see them.

I don't have plans for the roll-off roof itself, but virtually
everything else about my observatory is documented at
http://www.cloudbait.com/observatory.html , including an overview of the
construction (which is the simplest part of any remote observatory), all
of the hardware and software, and the networking setup that ties it all
together for remote operation.
