This abandoned roundhouse was built in 1915. Located near what used to be major railroad hub, the roundhouse was used by railroads for servicing up to 25 locomotives and steam engines. This large semicircular structure used to have a turntable in the middle of it which facilitated access to the engines.
Since it was used as a roundhouse, it was converted into a warehouse and expanded inward for semi truck access, making it much more shallow. A large percentage of the original structure was made of glass, but most of the windows were covered at the time of the conversion. The renovation also brought with it the addition of the huge warehouse to the south.
