BREWER ICE HOUSE AT EAGLE LAKE

Located along the quiet shore of Eagle lake, with yards of the Eagle lake Carriage road lie the remains of the old Brewer Ice House.  There are large sections of the foundation as well as areas of collapsed walls, and in one area a large square flat slab that once served as a step into the building.  This site is incredibly easy to locate, just a couple minutes walk from the Eagle lake boat landing.  A search of the nearby woods reveals large old cans as well as rusting parts of an old delivery truck.
To find the foundation, from the Eagle lake Boat landing, go left and follow the Eagle lake Carriage Road a short ways, stopping when you come to a stone bench on the left over looking the lake.  The large foundation is in the woods behind the stone bench.
I had read that at one time the first ice house the Brewers had was by Witch Hole Pond, where they cut blocks of ice from the pond before relocating the business to the shores of Eagle lake.
