Really enjoyed the article, Sharon. Makes me wonder why my house doesn't have a root cellar, since part of it was built in 1912 and the other part even older than that. The part built in 1912 has a basement, but no outside access. I am guessing that it did have a dirt floor when built though so maybe it was a root cellar and just didn't have a door outside.
I love all the pictures in the article, especially the first one. Still see a few of those cellar doors around.
