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!

I have always been intrigued with photography. I did sports, fashion, news, and wedding photography for a time, but even after I started a career where photography was no longer a part of the work, I kept firing away for personal reasons and to document my life. The photos came in handy for my personal blog http://mushysmoochings.blogspot.com. I still write there quite a bit, but documenting the theater restoration project keeps me pretty busy. I hope you enjoy my photos, because the process gives me great personal pleasure. Even if you don't buy, please leave a comment to keep driving me on!
