Mike Brandolino Swan Street/The Ice House Memories
They covered the bricks (on Swan Street) with blacktop
sometime in the mid-70s(?). Now, at the corner of Swan
and Whittaker, the blacktop is broken and some of the
bricks are visible.
It's strange to think that the ice house was converted
to condos!!!
Also...some time in the mid-70s, there was an ammonia
leak (refrigerant system) at ice house. the Swan st
residents had to be evacuated. Us kids being rather
curious and stupid, walked over to see what was
happening. we were across the street from the ice
house loading platform and got a snoot full of ammonia
gas, which made us cough and gag like crazy. we got of
there dang quick!!! That was a learning experience!!!
LOL!!!
