patent-logo
Today in 1881, US Patent 240778 A was issued, an invention of Henry Shlaudeman, for his “Refrigerator Building For Fermenting and Storing Beer.” There’s no Abstract, although in the description it includes these claims:

My invention relates to the construction of a refrigerator building for fermenting and storing beer and other liquids, having its fermenting-tubs above the ice, and provided with windows for the admission of fresh air, and of an intermediate room which contains the body of ice between the fermenting-room and storeroom, said ice body being facilitated for both purposes.
