1948 Photo From Sweden

The good looking MB in this photo has a nice top. What kind of structure is that? A Cabin?

The Swedish translates to English as: "Staff trip to Storvallen 1948. From left: Uno Branden, Britta, Ingrid Hellström, Einar Montén and Astrid Walster."

That structure is likely a "cold cellar", which is what people in the Northern climates used as a refrigerator before commercial refrigeration. The giveaways are the rammed earth construction and the tilted door.

  Craig, ahhh ... hadn't thought of that. I've been in cold cellars, but hadn't seen one shaped quite like that. - Dave

Women wearing slacks in 1948, very racy! My grandma would not approve!
