Crystal Ice House
The Crystal Ice House might be mistaken for a vintage gas station, but in fact it’s something more rare: a vintage ice station. Built in 1932, it’s the lone survivor of four in Pensacola that were, according to its historical marker, “an integral part of neighborhood life during the years before household refrigeration.” Customers would drive or walk under its awning (enhanced with fake icicles) and wordlessly order ice from 100 pounds (one finger) to 12.5 pounds (five fingers) using the station’s “Hand Signals for Service” plaque as a guide.
!929 Ford Tri-Motor Airplane
We recently took a ride in a 1929 Ford Tri-Plane. The Ford Tri-Motor (nicknamed the “Tin Goose”) is an American three-engined transport aircraft. Production started in 1925 by the companies of Henry Ford and ended on June 7, 1933. A total of 199 Ford Trimotors were made 18 have survived with 8 of those still flying.
Here is a link to the video of it taking off.
