The AT & SF Roundhouse was built in 1917. The roundhouse has 34 stalls. The roundhouse had a 100-foot through plate girder turntable to the stalls access to the stalls, which has been removed along with all the tracks. After the Santa Fe Railroad stopped using the roundhouse it was was sold to the JA Taichert Company in the 1930s. The roundhouse was then used as a wood and hide warehouse. The building continues to be used as warehouse and storage building.
