Historic E&N Roundhouse, Esquimalt
Decided to take a drive over to Esquimalt and when looking at the map found a notation to the Historic E&N Roundhouse. Was this worth going to? A Google search took me to Canada's Historic Places website where I learned that the Esquimalt E&N Roundhouse was built in 1912 and included industrial buildings and locomotive turntable . Today the Roundhouse is valued for its completeness, its overall industrial architecture, and insight into the role it played in in Vancouver Island's early development. www.historicplaces.ca/en/rep-reg/place-lieu.aspx?id=1621 There is quite a bit more informations available and the following link gives a timeline history http://www.roundhousevictoria.com/docs/historic_landmark.pdf
