In the words of the contributor, "It took a long time to send those because I live where people still use outhouses.:) This is my outhouse before and after restoring. I just finished restoring it. It is from Calumet, Michigan in Houghton county, Osceola township in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I have studied the initials carved into it. They are from a family with the last name of Strykowski. They lived in the house where this outhouse was 1900-1910. My outhouse is from that time period. The outhouse is from a "company house" that was owned by Tamarack mining company and later Calumet & Hecla mining company. They were copper mines. I am excited to share the pics and hope you will consider posting them. I will be very happy to communicate with other fans of outhouses if you would like to use my email. I am glad I got to save this little house. Thank you, Mark Pettit." | |
What else can you see in the images shown? Many times a photo is worth a thousand words and I've only elaborated with a few so why don't you add some "color commentary" to my collection. If your addition is worthy, you will find the quote added on the Comments to the Curator
page. | |
