Rhode Island Outhouses Today is a book of over 150 Rhode Island Privies. 132 Full Color pages - Released April 6, 2017

Product Detail:

Research says over 500 years ago, the outhouse originated in Europe. As people began traveling between villages, the inn keepers built ladies and mens outhouses. Because most people at the time were illiterate they used symbols to differentiate the two. The sun or star for men, the crescent moon for ladies because a full moon would have resembled a sun. The cutout in the door also allowed a little light to enter.
Quite a few have been well maintained by their owners while others have been restored including vinyl siding. No outhouse was bypassed due to its condition. Sorrowfully, Father Time is taking his toll, rotting the ones that unfortunately do not have caretakers watching over them. They are falling down, soon to be gone forever as Mother Earth takes over.
