John and List,

Years ago I ran across drawings of the Post Jervis ice house. I don't know
when it was built or when demolished. The drawings were in a booklet
entitled: "American Railway Bridge and Building Association", published by
the Association covering their Annual Convention in Los Angeles on October
20-22, 1914.
