Behold the birth of indoor plumbing? Sure would have been appreciated in subzero weather.
Did people really go to the bathroom right next to each other 3 at a time like that? That must have been interesting.

The bathroom is not designed for simultaneous use. The idea of the three holes is to spread out the you know what so that no pile gets too high. A one-holer would require more frequent cleaning.
Thanks Joseph for answering this. I was about to as well. Though folklore loves to tell a different story 🙂

We had a two seater at the cabin before indoor plumbing. Not so scary to have your sister with you at night.
They say “it takes a village”…. LOL
Isn’t this a sweet little out of the way place out in the country. Wouldn’t it be great for a weekend getaway or summer vacay? Wouldnt change a thing in that kitchen, reminds me of cabinets my father built many years ago. It would be so warm and cozy in winter in that(knotty pine?) upstairs bedroom. Also love the claw-foot bathtub, though not too sure about the 3-seater outhouse style necessary seating.

It is on a dirt road — that means MUD in the spring — slippery! Love the witch’s window in the upstairs window.

It’s a gravel road, you rarely find real dirt roads anymore.
There’s still a LOT of roads in more rural areas where gravel/dirt is still a huge problem, as is stuckage in the spring. In Maine/New England, passability is an issue in spring/mud season still.
Just curious, but what is a witch’s window?
Langeais, Loire Valley,
tilted attic window, common in VT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch_window
I’m never a fan of this style of window. Seem quirky and awkward.

I remember something spoken about here at OHD about windows installed at an angle like the one here. But for the life of me I can’t recall the convo. It’s very intriguing, because I’m certain it served a purpose.
Taking a standard window and the roofline next to the gable end, that is the only way it will fit is at an angle. Just being practical, form following function. Smile
My guess is that when they added the addition, they just took one of the windows at the end of the main part of the house and reused it there at an angle. Looks like the same size and shape as the 2 on the other end. So probably was just a bit of money saving creative reuse. That window next to the addition door is probably one of the other windows.
I’m still wondering about those latticed barn doors and what that is all about. Doesn’t appear to be a garage type thing as the dirt at the threshold is too far down to make getting in/out reasonable. So I wonder what they are for.
Upstate, NY
Possibly the latticed area is a woodshed – ?
