How cool! I can't believe they could keep the ice in there for 2 years. I'm so glad you took a picture of the sign so we could read about it. It must have been chilly inside!
Gosh I don't think I'd be comfortable nowadays eating ice-cream made from ice that was 2 years old - I have visions of all kinds of mold in there - but what a fantastic invention at the time. And to think it was still in use right up till 1934 - that is really remarkable.
This is really neat, and to think ice cream actually exsisted in the 17th century.
