The Roundhouse Community Centre

Roundhouse is a building of major historical significance to the City of Vancouver both from an architectural and a social perspective. Originally the Roundhouse was comprised of a cluster of buildings whose function was to house and service the great steam locomotives of the day. The people who worked in these buildings were involved with the railway link that played such a central part in the growth of Vancouver The community centre is proud to also house Engine 374. Engine 374 was the first passenger train to enter Vancouver on May 23, 1887. It sat lonely and deteriorating in Kitsilano Park for many years until train lovers rescued and restored it in time for Expo 86. After a major fundraising campaign by the Vancouver Central Lion’s Club it found its new home in the glass pavilion attached to the Roundhouse, where it is a designated heritage monument. The Roundhouse is a beautiful building with a wonderful history that has been made available to all the citizens of Vancouver. A heritage building still on its original site, a public facility for all of us to enjoy.
