Two Story Outhouse Brings Fame To Gays Illinois
In Gays Illinois a two story outhouse built in 1869 by Samuel Gamill remains as the town’s claim to fame attracting carloads of curious visitors. The restored structure sits alone in a small park after the main store building was torn down in 1984. The top and bottom stalls have distinct holes and a hidden false wall explains the difference, while the padlocked privy keeps vandals away.
