Fantasy Medieval Butcher Shop

A wonderful plan/layout/map. The simple elegance comes across nicely. Would a butcher, of the time, have a cold-room (down in the cellar)? Just an idea (a 3rd floor).

I have a couple of old drawings where I had included a form of "cold room". One was a "cool pit" in a tavern; basically a brick-lined covered hole off of the kitchen for keeping certain items cool. The other was a room off the original version of this butcher shop; a thick-walled room lined with water-soaked curtains that kept the temperature down through evaporation. I had considered including it again, but opted not to.
