Check out the Von Braun Station, LORL, USAF Recommended Station, Lockheed 1963 Space Station, Self-deploying Space Station and Space Base on this page.
From Marcus Lindroos' wonderful site we get this page http://www.abo.fi/~mlindroo/Station/Slides/sld001.htm Whilst dealing with Space in the 80's it has a summary of the rotational 'Space Base' projects of NASA in the late 60's.
My experience in "spinwheel" projects is limited to a singular college course, but from what I learned from it, such a space station isn't very practical. That said, it was a very "trendy" thing during the Space Age and Cold War, and a number of serious military/civilian projects have been proposed, too many for me to list.
