Located in Gays, Illinois, the Two-Story Outhouse stands as a unique piece of history in the town. Built in 1869, this fascinating structure once served as a restroom for both apartment dwellers and patrons of a general store. Despite the demolition of the store and apartments, the two-story outhouse has endured, offering a glimpse into the past.
Featuring two levels with a total of four seats, the outhouse allowed multiple users simultaneously. The top floor was utilized by apartment residents, while the bottom floor catered to store visitors. Waste from the upper level was cleverly directed behind a concealed wall into a pit, showcasing the innovative design of this historical facility.
