Description
Photograph of an exterior view of The Igloo, an ice cream stand shaped like an igloo, showing residential buildings, [s.d.]. A small igloo, surrounded by sculpted artificial glaciers and snow mounds, can be seen at center. Polar bears sit to its left and right. The snow mound in front of its door bears a sign reading "Ice Creams", while above the arched door hangs a sign reading "The Igloo. 4302". Two two-story residential buildings are visible in the left background, the rightmost constructed in the Spanish Eclectic style of architecture. Their yards are decorated by palm trees.
