Houses. The farm where I grew up had no indoor plumbing. We had an outhouse. We got indoor plumbing when I was 9 years old in 1960. Having a bathroom inside the house was such a treat. Especially since my Mom did not allow any of those covered enamel buckets in the house...she called them "piss pots." I recall my cousins had "piss pots" and did not have to go outside to the outhouse on bitterly cold nights.
Here is an old photo of the outhouses in Osage all painted up for the centennial a number of years ago. They have since been demolished.We had two sets of outhouses at our old resort. They came in handy if you were outside and needed to go and one time our septic system had problems and the outhouses were a blessing.
