Department 56 - River Street Ice House Cart - Christmas in the City

On a frosty winter morning, the River Street Ice House Cart makes its way down the bustling streets, delivering heavy blocks of ice to the neighborhood’s shops and restaurants. Long before modern refrigeration, the ice man’s arrival was an essential part of city life. Bundled against the cold, he carefully unloads his cargo, bringing a small but important piece of the day’s work to the busy streets nearby.
