The Molyneux Chevrolet Company Building, also known as the Rockwood Fire Department Building, is a historic building in Rockwood, Tennessee. It was built in 1927 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]

It is an L-shaped two part commercial building. It was made of poured concrete walls, with concrete made by forms in a block-like pattern. It has decorative concrete pilasters. It was built to hold a flat-roofed fire hall in one bay on the eastern side, and the Molyneux Chevrolet Company in three other bays covered by a hipped roof.[2]

The building still existed in 2011.[3]
