A number of years ago a friend and I were looking to rent a house. We ended up renting a house that is about 3/4 hr drive from here.
One of the interesting features of this home was to be found in the basement. At one time there had been a inground pool outside and for whatever reason it no longer was practical. They covered over the top of the pool, put dirt on it and grew a lawn.
Now, downstairs to the basement. I was looking around and noticed a fridge, I opened the door of the fridge and realized it was actually a door that led to what was the pool at one time.
I guess you can all figure out why it was unique and for what purpose it might serve.
sounds like the old Bowmanville German concentration camp in Bowmanvillle , just past Pickering Ontario where I lived a couple of years
