TRIANGULAR ROOT CELLAR

Ever since ancient times, root cellars have provided cultures with the means to store food throughout the seasons.
In Chester County, root cellars have been around since the first settlers made this fertile region their home
—that’s before William Penn established the area in 1682.
Root cellars can range in size from three to four feet square, to large domed spaces suitable for hoarding enough winter provisions for several families.
There are several root cellars located on Pocopson Road, Chadds Ford, PA. This is one of the most colorful!

Amazing little buildings in Chester county!
I like this version much more than the former one, but it's a personal opinion only.
It's a nice picture and I like the pleasant explanation text you added.

What a great building and tradition that goes with it....nice to see they are preserved and used. Wonderful shot!

The few I saw, where completely underground, I guess the colder winters here warrant that.

How lovely. The view is gorgeous and the picture so well composed.

Cool :o))!!!! We have ice houses here in the UK (as Ann says) which served the same purpose. Lots of angles and triangles here, a lovely little shot Stephanie!

What a cute building. I thought it´s a home for dwarfs.
