Museum building built in 1842 on Marina Beach, used to store blocks of ice carved from the Great Lakes

Located on Marina Beach, this building, formerly known as the Ice House, was built in 1842 by Frederic Tudor. It was used to store huge blocks of ice cut from the Great Lakes in the United States that were shipped to India for refrigeration during the British era. The poet and mystic Swami Vivekananda stayed in this building when he visited Chennai in 1897, and the building was later renamed in his honor. Today it houses a museum relating his life and work through 3D and augmented reality animations.
