42 WYOMING ARCHITECTURE .20 | www.aia-wyoming.org Funding for these capital projects has been provided by the City of Evanston, WYDOT, Wyoming Business Council, Wyoming Cultural Trust grants, and private and business donations. An excellent example of the partnership between the public and private sectors was the completion of the superintendent’s office. Spearheaded by the Evanston Preservation Commission and Round- house Restoration Incorporated (a private non- profit), the design and restoration of this building was accomplished with the assistance of local individuals, businesses and organizations, Rocky Mountain Power, WYDOT, and the Wyoming Cultural Trust Fund. The most recent project, replacing the train doors in sections two, three and four, was completed solely by private donations. The Roundhouse & Railyards now serve as an extraordinary public convention center and a re- minder of southern Wyoming’s railroad heritage. With the 22,000 sq. ft. Roundhouse Section One, the 17,000 sq. ft. Machine Shop, Visitors Center, Superintendent’s Office and the accompanying plaza and site work, the City of Evanston can host many social gatherings such as conferences, wed- dings, school activities and holiday parties. b Photo Credit: City of Evanston Roundhouse Section One 2018 window replacement Section Two Roundhouse Section One Photo Credit: City of Evanston Roundhouse 2019 Roundhouse 2019 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 41
