Outhouse

It is an outside toilet. People used it as a toilet to
dispose of their waste and lasted five to seven years. The hole
in the ground was four feet square and five feet deep. The house
was eight feet tall that was made of wood and the floor was made
of concrete. This was not only a custom but a way of life.
