Description
A double seat privy is found upon exploring some woods in Ellsworth, Ohio on a cool March day. A 'privy' is a a toilet located in a small shed outside a house or other building;
an outhouse. The mere mention of an outhouse can be enough to turn a stomach. Cottagers who have or continue to use them know it’s hard to shake that unforgettable stench. But while most cottagers shudder at the thought of them, others find them fascinating—so much so that outhouses are studied, restored, raced, and even stolen.
Turns out, traditional two-seater outhouses have two holes for different-sized behinds: a bigger one for adult bottoms and a smaller one for kids.
Falling in can be fatal, or unpleasant at best! Sometimes the second person just couldn't wait for the first one to be done? Also, people used to have lots of kids, so two young siblings would cheerfully sit next to one another in an outhouse.
Three-hole outhouses were considered the height of luxury (as far as outhouses go) since they would have a correctly-sized hole for men, women, and children.
