It was built in 1946 at the beginning of Moulton's post-World War II boom period.
The ice house operated until 1977, serving homes and businesses in and around Moulton, as well as customers including Legion Field in Birmingham and the Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant across the Tennessee River.
Today, the building houses an antique store, but the icemaking equipment is still intact.
A concrete block residence constructed at the same time as the ice house sits behind the structure.
