The Bronze Boar is located in the Huron Street Village, situated in the historic downtown Toledo Warehouse District. It was built as a livery stable before the Civil War, and its work horses pulled wagons for an ice company in Toledo. The ice was cut on Lake Erie during the winter and stored in Toledo warehouses that were lined with foot-and-a-half-thick cork walls for ice deliveries during the summer months. Some of us still remember the ice man bringing in the block of ice for the ice box many years ago.
