Icebox

part of speech: noun

Definition: A chilled box or cupboard for keeping something cold, especially food.

source: Oxford dictionaries

Found in “This is just to say” by William Carlos Williams, line 4

” I have eaten the plums that were in the icebox”

The context of the poem made me think an icebox was simply an older term for a fridge, but I googled the definition to check if I was correct.
