Cold Storage...maybe?

 

My uncle Luc used to have one on Nepewassi in the 50's when there was no Hydro..

 

Small log hut with a flat roof covered with a mound of dirt, stone or concrete doorway.. they used to store "Lake Ice" covered in sawdust in it...the Ice would last for more than a year... they used it as a fridge... since collapsed but looks very similar to the picture.
