Description: |
In 1851 the roundhouse would come into being. The newspaper called it "the coliseum" and commented on its size. It would stand for only 55 years, though. In 1906 it would be pulled down. In later years the rest of the complex would go, piece by piece, until in 1938 the last old office building would be razed and the old turntable would be filled in and it would be relatively quiet again. |
