With the recent cold weather I thought some of you might be interested in this blog piece on harvesting ice in New England. Included in the blog post is a ten minute movie made in 1919 of them cutting and moving the ice blocks to an ice house. Out about the 9 minute mark is a horse drawn elevator to move the ice blocks to the 2nd floor that I found interesting. The blog post address is http://histsociety.blogspot.com/2013/11/ice-ice-baby.html
