Greeley Ice and Storage Building
Weld County
The 1930/1939 Greeley Ice and Storage Building is important as an early-twentieth century ice manufacturing and storage facility, providing the city of Greeley and surrounding areas with manufactured ice and cold storage for meat, poultry, and beverages, as well as storage for furniture, furs, and other items. The company also supported area agricultural interests by supplying ice for railroad and truck transport of meat and produce.
Greeley Ice and Storage Building
It is a good example of a 1930s ice manufacturing and cold storage facility, as reflected in its immense size, external framework of piers and floorplates dividing brick curtain walls, few window openings, loading docks, flat roof with parapet, concrete internal columns, and limited ornamentation. The utilization of brick walls within an exposed concrete structural grid is a design frequently seen in industrial buildings of the era.
