Title	Iceland Skating Rink
Date	1940
Creator	Frederick-Burkett Foto Service
Description	This October 30, 1940, photograph shows a newly-opened Iceland Skating Rink, located at 1430 Del Paso Boulevard. The icebox-making American Ice Company, owned and operated by William Kerth, opened in 1923. When electric home refrigerators began to close out the market for old-style iceboxes in the 1930s, Kerth used the ice plant's equipment to create an ice skating rink next door - Iceland. The rink was destroyed by fire in March of 2010.
