Root Cellar owned by Madonna Dalton on Fairy Pond Road in Cape Broyle. The cellar is a poured concrete foundation with a shed structure on top. The shed has a hatch entrance. It was built by Madonna’s late husband Michael Dalton in 1969. It has not been used for vegetable storage since the late 1980’s. The cellar is located closer to the house rather than the field to make it easier to get vegetables into the house. The Daltons grew their own vegetables until the late 1980’s and since then have been purchasing their vegetables from the local meat man.
