Photograph of the ice house at Madras (Chennai),
Tamil Nadu, taken by Frederick Fiebig in c.1851. The photograph is
one of a series of hand-coloured salt prints. The ice house stood
beside the road on the foreshore next to Marina Beach. It is a
handsome circular building with ionic pilasters and a pineapple
finial. The ice house was erected in 1842 to store large blocks of
ice which were imported from America by the Tudor Ice Co., formed
in 1840. Following the construction of local ice factories it was
later converted into a home for Brahmin widows and is now a hostel
for the Lady Willingdon Training College, known as Vivekananda
House.
