In Search of the Roosevelt Outhouse in New England - New England Historical Society In the 1930s, 2.3 million sanitary privies (aka the Roosevelt Outhouse) were built in the U.S. Did any survive to this day in New England?

And now, for something completely different.

My Dad used to say he was "visiting #DixyLeeRay" when he needed to cop a squat.

I now understand the reference. His dad, my grandfather, used to "visit Eleanor."
