Located next to several leading seafood processing plants, the facility was among the largest ice and cold storage operations in the city. Virginia Ice & Freezing Corp., which at the time of listing in the registers still operated as a cold storage facility, represents the most intact and best preserved cold storage warehouse in Norfolk.
