The Silsbee Ice, Light, and Power Co., bought by Gulf States Utility Co. in 1926, grew rapidly after relocating to this structure in 1930. With a new spur track of the Gulf, Colorado, & Santa Fe Railway in place, the company became a major regional ice distributor. The plant was sold to local businessmen in 1943 and functioned until 1981. Designed by D. H. Paulson, the raised 1-story brick building reflects Spanish revival stylistic influences in its tiled pent roofs and awnings. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1991
