From the post:

>Before the refrigerator became a normal part of any kitchen, those with enough money to throw around could get an icebox, which used melting ice to cool food and drinks in a second compartment.

This was part of the restoration of a 1926 house, which foresaw putting this venerable unit back into operation.
