awesome!!!

and it is interesting how things have changed from the early Greek and Roman Empire centuries. public restrooms were for men and women and rows of seats, with no walls between.

I don't think I could use it. It would be funny to sit inside and just watch people though. lol

Is it possible for the sun to ever hit it just right and show a silhouette???

Now THAT could be interesting... :lol:

Where is this again?

I also just realize that the sink and toilet are on the same water supply. That is kinda neat and kinda gross all at the same time.

Not to hijack the thread, I think it is still in line....Above is a photo of the public bath house my mom took us kids to every Saturday nite when I was small . In between times a wash rag would do. . If I remember the cost was about 5 cents for the soap and towel. The Northside COGOP was about a mile west on the same street St. Louis Ave.

In operation between 1937 and 1965, Municipal Bathhouse Number Six was the last public showering establishment to open in St. Louis and the last to close. Beginning in 1907, the city built a total of six bathhouses to improve hygienic conditions in working-class, immigrant neighborhoods where most households lacked indoor plumbing. These bathhouses were typically open sixteen hours a day and seven days a week to satisfy the high demand for bathing facilities. This particular bathhouse was built on the foundation of an 1870s firehouse. It features an art deco façade typical of New Deal era architecture. Inside the entrance of bathhouse number six, towels were rented and soap was purchased from behind a counter. The bathhouse provided eighteen marble-clad dressing stalls for women and sixteen for men in addition to the showers. During its first year in operation, bathhouse number six was the most extensively used in the city, providing northsiders with over 170,000 showers. As late as 1950, nearly three quarters of homes in the area were still without indoor plumbing or private baths, making this establishment a precious commodity in the neighborhood. Since the closure of the bathhouse, the building has been used as a woodworking shop and a storage facility.

I'd use it!

Wen, your sink and toilet are on the same water supply as well. $\:D/$

Or how about little half-walls between the seats but NO DOORS, as in the Restrooms at the Old Assembly Tabernacle on Central Avenue?

There are a few other people on here who must remember THAT?! Dr. Ron?

My goodness, you walked in and said "Hello, Brother so-'n-so" right down the line. People waving, laughing, having conversations, discussing church business. Zero if any privacy. And the urinals? Forget it. One giant long "trough".

Good grief! :lol:

I am pretty private about body functions, and hate public restrooms. My visits are very brief and only to take care of necessary business.

Imagine my dismay when I arrived at Ft. Polk for Army Basic Training and went into the barracks latrine for the first time and discovered a row of toilets... literally. No walls, no dividers -- just a row of totally exposed toilets! :shock:
