Cellar

A small underground or partially underground room separate from other buildings. Affluent farms usually had cellars with masonry walls and concrete tops, but it was not unusual for the walls to be of loose rocks, and the top of logs covered with two feet or so of dirt. To minimize digging, the room was often not completely below the original dirt surface, but had the dirt that was removed from the hole heaped up around the part of the room above the original ground level. In cold climates, food was stored in the cellar to keep it from freezing in the winter. In warm climates, the cellar was used to provide a cool place for keeping food (e.g. milk and butter) during the summer. In tornado-prone regions, the primary function of a cellar was to provide protection from tornadoes.
