- Description
Looking north from the southwest shore of the Millpond toward the ENGINE HOUSE & ICE HOUSE. The building in the middle distance beyond the rowboats stood at about 212 North Main Street, across the road from the grist mill. The first record of it was when it was W. F. Palmer's Bee Hive Blacksmith Shop. When this picture was taken, on the extreme left can be seen one leg of the tower that held the fire bell, so it had become the Village Hall and Fire House by then. In the distance, the building with the ramp going down to the pond, is W. H. Smith's ice house which stood at about 214 North Main. It was built in 1905. Smith hired men to saw large cakes of ice out of the frozen Millpond and store them in the ice house. Much of this ice was used by him to make ice cream, and during the summer, some of it went into people's ice boxes. The barn seen in the distance was on the Haskin property, behind what had been the stagecoach stop at the Lyons Hotel. The Gene Buzzell Photograph
