A 3 hole 'back'-house was built right into the building- beyond the
woodshed. That was one spoiled lady.g


I don't get it. Built into the building but past the woodshed?
How are both possible?

You could get there without going outside?


Yes. And it built with a neat little 'jog, so there was always
cross-ventilation through the 2 little windows. Underneath the 3
holes there was a door on one end and the crap fell into a box that
was on a sled that a horse pulled somewhere when necessary.

I guess it wasn't really a wood *shed* -- It was the room off the
dining room.

There were 7 fireplace in that house-- 4 downstairs and 3 upstairs.
The wood 'shed' was the size of a 2 car garage.

"summer kitchen" by chance? or just a big "mud room". Or was it used
to store fire-wood? In which case it was a "wood shed"
