Over the years the Rockwood Motor Court has also been known as the Rockwood Court and Cafe, the Rockwood Tourist Court, Ginny Lee's Restaurant, Motel & Pub, Tubby's Diner. It reopened as the Rockwood Motor Court for nightly guests in 2019.

The rock building on the corner was the original Shell gas station.

The cool sign out front is a replica of an earlier sign that had been built years ago by the Payne Sign Co.

The small cabins behind the main buildings had a rock facing on the fronts and other simpler siding on the backs.

The early 1930s motor court had ten guest units, some in duplex cabins and others in single units. There was also cafe and gas station. This is one of the duplex cabins. The facade of this cabin is only partially rocked.
