Round House 1 - a photo on Flickriver

Round House 1

The printing/mailing campus of my worthy employer, on Kansas City's West Side.

These historic roundhouses were constructed in 1914, the same year nearby Union Station opened, and served the station as a locomotive maintenance facility from 1914 till a surprisingly recent 1988.

Can you just imagine the giant turn-table in the center, pointing locomotives towards the bay doors of the service area they needed?

This company designed the office space in the roundhouses, and the giant printing facility (new) behind.

Introducing air-conditioning into the buildings proved a challenge, as it was important not to jeopardize the structures' status on the National Register of Historic Places.
