This roundhouse is out of my "territory," but any roundhouse that has been preserved by reuse is worth investigating.
Ted Gregory shared a post of two photos by Scott Janz with the comment: "Colorado Midland/Midland Terminal roundhouse at Colorado Springs, CO. 1940's and modern screenshot from Google."

| Mark Afman posted Built in about 1889 for the Colorado Midland Railroad, the roundhouse was used by the Midland Terminal Railway after 1918 and then converted to a Van Briggle Art Pottery showroom and factory in the early 1950s. In 2008–9 the building was renovated to house shops, offices, and a restaurant.

The Street View driver must have been a railfan because I don't think they normally cruise parking lots of a shopping mall.
