This is the very small second bathroom in our house, which was added during one of the many expansions. These expansions were by prior owners, so we can only piece together the story by looking under the flooring for changes in construction, wiring, and materials. This bathroom had a outward facing window that became an inside window when a porch was added.
     The house is old enough that it probably had an outhouse at some point. Most of the houses on the street started early enough to be before the miracle of flushing.
     The lighting of "pocket bathroom" was done with a flashlight during a time exposure that took as long as the lighting required. This is often my strategy if I can shoot in complete darkness.
     There is a photograph of a section of the same room in the lower right corner of the window, making a picture within the picture.
