wherein a plurality of holes are provided in the base plate.

14. The entrance refrigerator according to claim 13 , further comprising a tray located on an upper surface of the base plate,

wherein a plurality of holes are provided in a bottom of the tray.

15. The entrance refrigerator according to claim 14 , wherein the bottom of the tray is spaced apart from an upper surface of the base plate by a predetermined spacing.

16. The entrance refrigerator according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a drain hole provided in a bottom of the storage compartment; and

a drain port extending from a bottom surface of the cabinet and communicating with the drain hole.

17. The entrance refrigerator according to claim 16 , further comprising a drain box located at the bottom surface of the cabinet,

wherein the drain port is accommodated in the drain box.

18. The entrance refrigerator according to claim 17 , further comprising a port receiver protruding upward from a bottom surface of the drain box,

wherein an upper end of the port receiver includes a recessed portion, and

wherein a lower end of the drain port is disposed in the recessed portion.
