The original roundhouse was constructed in 1882. It was built of red brick . There were 10 stalls.. In 1905 stalls 9 and 10 were modified for standard gauge locomotives. Then in 1951 stall 1 was converted to storage. Stalls 1 through 4 were demolished in 1971 and stalls 7 through 10 were remodeled to accommodate doghouse tenders. In 1989, a fire destroyed most of the roundhouse. The next year it was rebuilt by the D&SNG.(Durango and Silverton) The new model has 18 stalls. (visit link)
