Railroad Roundhouse

The Roundhouse in Aurora is the oldest and maybe only stone railroad roundhouse left in the US. It's been converted into a brewpub restaurant.

The building is the oldest limestone roundhouse in the United States and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.The roundhouse is actually a tetracontagon (40 sides). The walls of the structure were constructed with locally mined limestone.
