Walter Payton Roundhouse Complex Endowment Fund
(Established 1996)
Walter Payton
In 1996, Aurora's historic 1855 Roundhouse (the nation's oldest existing limestone Roundhouse which was used to house and repair locomotives) was transformed into the Walter Payton Roundhouse Complex.
The Complex contains a brewery, restaurant, banquet facility, museum and retail store.
The inner courtyard is paved with personalized "gift bricks" purchased by individuals and businesses.
One-half of the proceeds from the sale of the bricks was donated to the Community Foundation to establish this unrestricted charitable fund in the name of Walter Payton.
Mr. Payton (1954-1999) was a star running back with the Chicago Bears.
