Ice House
The icehouse was used primarily to store fresh meat and butter, and to chill wine. The ice sometimes lasted through summer.
The icehouse, tack room, and bays for horses and carriages were located in the lower level of the North Wing, which connects the passage under the house to the North Pavilion.
North Privy
Although it was unusual for houses in the United States at the start of the 19th century to have toilet facilities inside them, Monticello had three. These non-flushing privies were attached to shafts that provided ventilation.
