The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad built its second roundhouse in this location in 1902. When first constructed, this building was part of a forty-six-stall roundhouse. After an extensive modernization program in 1937, only the three locomotive stalls before you remained from the earlier 1902 design.

Following modernization, the new roundhouse utilized industrial practices of the time. The new roundhouse was "not intended to be a rest room, a loafing place or club room, and there is no need to provide warmth that makes its use for such purposes practicable. The men regularly employed in engine houses are always warmly dressed and will work faster and better if the house is not too warm."
