Railway roundhouse

the John Street Roundhouse, now part of Roundhouse Park in Toronto, Canada, viewed from the CN Tower in September 2012.

A railway roundhouse is a building with a circular or semicircular shape used by railways for servicing and storing locomotives.[1] Traditionally, though not always the case today, these buildings contained or were adjacent to a turntable.
