The Volga Germans in Portland, Oregon

Cold Storage 

Story contributed by Georgia (Koch) Thomas

I remember the cold storage lockers that were located on NE 10th and Beech on the SW corner. In the 1940's and early 50's most of us didn't have freezers, so our moms rented space for our supply of meat and poultry. That was always a great place to go to on a hot summer day!

Note: According to Carol (nee Hergert) Gass, Bob Leonard and his mother lived upstairs from the cold storage business for years during her late grade and early high school years.
