In New England an ice house is a building to store the ice harvest
My father used to collect and help keep ice back in the day. They kept it covered in sawdust in the summer months I think I remember him saying. Ice a big deal back then. He also told how they used to also have to carry 5 gallon pails,of water to the one room school house (which is still standing, but recently got sold to a private owner I beleive, I hope,he preserves it),and how they would have to,do,this each morning before school started. Folks up the street from him got a TV, and the neighborhood, kids woild all gather in the home to watch their favorite shows
Times sure have changed
