Fiber cement board siding is meant to replicate lap siding, he said. She said she contacted multiple ports — Savannah, Charleston, Pensacola — and could not pinpoint another structure comparable to the Ice House. The Ice House has a number of fun filled skating packages for all ages and skill levels.

But the preservation battle was lost, and though the building was razed, the construction of planned upscale condominiums never came to be. For nearly two decades, what was once the Ice House instead lived on as one of downtown’s many paid parking lots. Sign up for free to get a personalized experience tailored to you and your players.

Adult Pick Up hockey sessions are offered for 18 & older skaters. Pickup Sessions are $14 per skater (Goalies are free) and are limited to 26 skaters. “So it will only feel like a roughly a 50-foot-tall building instead of a 60-foot tall building,” Hipp said. In 2005, Myrtle Grove Enterprises LLC acquired the land for $2.1 million.

Since the turn of the century, on multiple occasions, plans were drawn up and approved for projects that never saw the light of day. Before refrigeration, ice was cut in New England and shipped to the house on Wilmington’s Water street, historian and former New Hanover County librarian Beverly Tetterton explained. City documents suggest the original building — a three-story masonry — existed as early as 1845 and was perhaps built by a Baptist minister. The sound of a front loader moving in on the building in 2004 drew a crowd of around 50 protesters, StarNews reported at the time. Some called the structure a hazard, others said it was architecturally sound.

The new owners proposed a mix of retail and residential units, StarNews reported, but, like all former plans for the property, there was no movement. It is located next door to City Market, stripped of its contributing historic status last year to open up its eligibility for reconstruction as a new and taller building, possibly with condos. WILMINGTON — The Ice House was both an icon and a history trove.
In 1989 there were plans for a three-story brick masonry building with balconies. In 2002, after New Hanover County condemned the structure, designs were presented for a five-story, mix-use building. Hipp said the designs set back the upper level of residences from the front elevation. It wasn’t the first time a new use was envisioned for the waterfront property.
On Dec 16th ASEC purchased a very successful single sheet ice rink in Wilmington, NC. This facility fits in nicely with ASEC’s 7 sheets of ice in the Raleigh, NC market. Located near Ogden Park off Market Street, Wilmington Ice House is home to the University of North Carolina-Wilmington hockey team. This 30,000-square-foot facility features an NHL regulation-sized ice surface, a pro shop with the latest equipment and apparel, skate rentals and repairs.
All programs are taught by highly skilled and qualified instructors in a safe and secure setting. Some units will feature enchanting Juliette balconies, rails by the full-length windows. Those along Water Street will have full, dark bronze balconies, and top units will have roof terraces.
It was no surprise that when plans for demolition were revealed in the early 2000s, there was a fight to save it. Polar Ice NC does not allow unscheduled birthday celebrations in the lobby/snack bar of our facilities. Please email our Guest Servies Director, Kelly Jelley to discuss options. Construction could start on the project late this year or early 2023 if all goes as intended with the commission. While it’s still early on, Hipp said its name will likely give a nod to the original Ice House. Designs incorporate similar styles to the rest of the neighborhood, such as masonry that matches details of nearby buildings, Hipp said.
Lower level figure skaters are allowed on the ice accompanied by a coach. When the Historic Preservation Commission considers a certificate of appropriateness for the project in June, it will mainly look at whether designs are harmonious with the surroundings. Jessica Baldwin is leading the conversation as the city’s recently appointed historic preservation planner.
Port Properties is now the prospective buyer of the vacant lot, Hipp confirmed. Their plans for the site include 61 for-rent apartments from the third floor up. “So when they tore it down, we lost one of the most unusual, precious buildings in the country,” she said. After it was destroyed, the teen show penned a storyline about the establishment burning down and rolled cameras over to Dockside Restaurant as the new shooting location.

Developers vocalized the demand for more residences, opponents questioned the real needs of the city. Through the years the original building was altered and the ice industry changed. By the 1990s, it consisted of a one-story building parallel to the riverfront and a two-story structure along Muters Alley, and the Ice House Pub had moved in. These buildings were insulated using sawdust, rice shaft or another material between the exterior wall and another interior wooden barrier.
This is the first new construction she has brought before the members. On the ground floor, it’s likely retail and a management office will fill 2,240 square feet of planned commercial space. The first and second stories will also make room for 49 cars in an approximate 13,361-square-foot deck. Between 1990 and 2000, several certificates of appropriateness were issued by the Historic Preservation Commission to alter the building.
Little Hawks/Kinder Hawks is our Learn To Play (LTP) program available to players that have completed the Learn To Skate (LTS) program. Players ranging 4-6 will register for Kinder Hawks and players 7 and older will register for Little Hawks. Players should have skating ability and have passed Basic 1 in Hockey Skates. This program covers the basics of the game including puckhandling, passing, shooting, and controlled game play.
Full sets of youth equipment can be purchased at the rink for $275+tax. Plans were submitted to the city to construct a 60-foot-tall apartment building with ground-floor commercial space on the 0.37-acre property. Figure skating or "freestyle" sessions are designated for figure skaters Basic 6 and above.
