Notes
  • Significance: The Ice House (Building 644) was one of the larger capacity icehouses in the region. The New York State Historic Preservation Office determined that it was a rare surviving building type since bulk ice storage of this large scale was made obsolete. The Ice House was a 5,384 sq. ft. (126' 8"x 45' 6") wooden building capable of storing 2,000 tons of ice. An adjustable gallery for loading the ice ran the length of the structure and approximately 120' to the Lusk Reservoir.
