	Approximately 1940, the Miller Estate opened the [[Adirondack Storage Vaults\|Adirondack Storage Vaults]] in the vast second floor space behind the offices. This was a refrigerated cold-storage vault for furs and "no expense was spared to make it the finest cold storage facility in northern New York", according to the manager of the Lincoln Warehouse vaults that once occupied most of the lower floors.

	These vaults are not small. They are a honeycomb of full-size rooms built of gypsum block. This material is lightweight, fireproof, and responds to humidity in a manner conducive to maintaining that condition at archival standards. The steel doors, some single and some double, 8x3 1/2 feet, are hung on four pin-type hinges, and close with three spring-loaded bolts.		These vaults are not small.
