The Camden Terminal Enginehouse aka the Roundhouse
As the Pennsylvania Railroad expanded their freight yard along the river in Camden, they needed a larger engine repair and maintenance facility. So around 1901 the roundhouse was built at the southern end of the yard at the foot of Clinton St , where the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion sits today. In front was a movable turntable leading engines to one of 19 repair bays.
The building stood until about 1970. Phil Rowan advises that the turntable still sits under the pavilion stage because it was too difficult to remove.
