Barrowsville Ice House


In the early 1900's a large ice harvesting operation was situated on Barrowsville Pond. It was owned by the Providence Ice Company. A spur track from the railroad main line ran to the ice houses where freight cars were loaded with blocks of ice for shipment. The ice-harvesting industry disappeared with the development of electric refrigeration.
