Did you know outhouses in the past often had more than one story: Believe it or not, high-rise outhouses actually existed. Back in the old days, they had two-story hotels in towns so they would build two-story outhouses. On the upper floor, you’d go back in a little bit further than the outhouse below. Waste from above would fall down a shaft behind the first-floor loo’s wall, allowing for a seamless flow of sewage. This is a 1941 photograph of a two-story outhouse.
