Description
Tennessee Highway Patrol Building (added to National Register in 2001 - Building - #01000255)
Jct. of Kingston Ave. and Nelson St., Rockwood, Tennessee
The street where the museum is located, Kingston Avenue , was commonly known as the Dixie Highway . It was once the primary road through Rockwood, as well as a major connector to much of east Tennessee . The station was built in 1936 in response to concerns for public safety along the new, expanded road system. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is believed to be the oldest THP station east of Nashville . Its architecture also makes it important. The building is Craftsman style, and features a Crab Orchard stone exterior with a tile roof.
This old building was where I came when I first got my license back in 1962!
I've also been there a couple of times because of speeding tickets!
