| This building houses public restrooms.
It does contain modern fixtures and plumbing, but since
the original "necessary" has long been destroyed,
the pictures here are intended to show those not familiar
with such a facility what it would have been like.
The necessary may also have been called a "privy"
or, if a separate building, an "outhouse."
It did not contain facilities for bathing.
