The existing ice house would be left in its current location and rehabilitated with the addition of a foundation, but its appearance would remain unaltered. Ultimately, it would be used either for interpretation or for storage. In the event that the ice house is used for interpretation, it would retain its original refrigerant equipment and tools.

A variant of this project element would be to relocate the ice house to its historic location in the reconstructed shop string and use it for interpretation or storage.
