Had some meetings here and this place is beautiful! So neat to have meetings in a historic roundhouse. Absolutely beautiful building. On the inside, the track is still there so you can see where the trains came and went. Im excited for the continued renovation work around the site. I would love to visit again.

Loved this venue! In the future when all remodeling is complete it will be even better. It a great space for entertainment, you get a rich history experience on top of the festivities. What a great way to repurpose a facility.

Went for an event the toy train set up which was impressive. I was with adult son we explored the entire grounds which a lot of area improved, some spots still being worked on but the completion was fantastic. City of Evanston has put in tremendous work to bring rundown to beautiful history in our lifetimes. We also was given ride on railcar turntable waited a lifetime for that, totally awesome.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! The history of the building and the Railyards is amazing as it played a huge part in the early beginnings of Evanston. Amazing!

One of the few remaining Roundhouses left in the Country. Working turn table with beautifully restored conference rooms and large open areas. The facility is way under utilized for conferences only because the City is managing it and under promoting its qualities. Low priced Hotel rooms are available in Evanston as well as newer Chains allowing even a conference of 1500 attendees to be accomodated between all the open space and individual buildings in the community. If you are looking for a lower cost conference room alternative with historic flair this is the place.

Its a beautifully renovated building for community activities. It is handicapped accessible and there is handicapped parking.

Review №44

A nice historic location with nearly open access. Community events are often hosted in the refurbished portions of both the round house and the machine shop. Signage is posted to explain the former use scenario of all three buildings. Touring is unguided and lacks a clear structure, however.
