NOTES
Additional Information:The ice house is a two-story utilitarian building that was constructed during Burt Hill’s ownership of the site. Sometime after the ice house was constructed, a sawdust shed was added on the east wall. A storage shed was added to the southwest corner in 1974. The buildings are currently used for storage and as a seasonal residence.
