Built in 1846 as an engine shed, the Roundhouse was first renovated to host musical acts and theater in 1964 and featured many memorable performers of the 1960s and 1970s, such as Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd. Closed in 1983 due to lack of funding, Roundhouse reopened its doors in 1996 and after major refurbishment in 2006, it has continuously served as the center of various concerts, theater, circus, poetry readings, and other performing arts activities.
