though in most places I don't think they are in use any more.
If they are in use, it is probably for a summer house.
But I remember a few outhouses from my life, though not as
elegant as this one.
Place for two, a grownup and a child.
Old newspapers.
Sometimes old telephone catalogues, I am told.
My Norwegian grandmother had a summer house
next to the Oslofjord with an outhouse.
My Swedish grandparents moved to another farm
in the end of the 1950's. Till they installed a WC inside
the house, we used the outhouse.
Another relative has a summerhouse next to a lake.
Still now, visiting her, means using her outhouse.
To learn more about outhouses, you can visit the present
exhibition at the Municipal museum of Moss.
I will have to decide if I am going to share more of what I saw there.
