That's what I would guess.

What is the incline structure? It doesn't seem to be connected to the building.
Great house on the hill and reflection in the water. House or hotel?

Ice house. When it's winter the ice is carved up on the pond and then moved up to the "attic" to get covered with straw for storage.

C.E.Wren's mansion is in the background.

Mansion eventually became a convalescent home. Building is still there, now known as the "Chateau and Lodge", classified as a "boarding house". Google Earth/Maps, search for Little Oley, Douglas Township.

Yes, for the ice house right there on the pond - inclinded belt system for moving ice to the top and then distributed throughout the building stored under sawdust; etc.

While I like the mood, the Amish round my way drive those and smaller open buggies out on the road.

It happens and has on the highway in front of my place in PA. Trucks going way too fast with limited line of sight and/or drivers possessed of limited intelligence.

Still not as bad as our local farmers (non Amish) taking large pieces of farm equipment (most 1 1/2 to 2 lanes wide) out on a two lane road with a 55 mph limit and limited sight curves. They used to be able to cut between fields without doing this but "neighbors" sold out to developers and now they can't.

I don't know what the solution is short of a "convoy" with a pair of pickup trucks before and after with lights and signage indicating slow moving extra wide "load".

Farmers in PA. have special regulations with in 7 miles of their farm. No inspection , lower driving age and no permit need to cover weight restrictions.
