Beardstown CB&Q Roundhouse

 CB&Q/BN Roundhouse

Beardstown, Il 2-1-21


The Roundhouse was built by CB&Q in 1905 and was used to store and repair steam locomotives.


In the 1950's the facility was occupied by a Farm implement dealer. Later a manufacturer plant operated here til 1997. 


After the plant left a fire caused damage and was vacant for a while until 2009. It was renovated and converted to the current Event Center it is today.
