Did every railroad at the time have covered locomotive roundhouses?

No, just a select few. It was fairly common prior to the US Civil War in the Northeast Half of the country. Today, the covered roundhouse in Mt. Clare, and the one in Harper's Ferry are the only two that remain.

isn't the Mt. Clare Roundhouse the sight of the B&O's Mt. Clare Shops and now the home of the B&O railroad museum?
