Sallie (FullTime-Life) said...: I love this -- have seen a few similarly preserved bldgs on our travels "over here" -- and I love thinking about how inventive the colonial people (and western US pioneers) were. I think it would have kept the meat and butter at exactly the right temp.

Thanks for sharing the sign as well, because while I was gazing at the first lovely photo I wondered what era it had been built.; November 22, 2010 2:09 PM
