What fascinated me was the wooden seat and cover. Many years ago, a New Zealand friend said he preferred the wooden seat because it didn't feel cold when you sit on this.
This is a water closet in a wooden building in 1860s. I went out west to see this building because it fitted exactly the imagination of a venue of the B&B I wrote in my book, "The Playgroup Club" where many young women went.

Wonderful post for this weeks letter..... makes me think back, I can't remember ever had to use the WC (as we call them here too) without that flushing possibility and indeed a sink at the wall is common here as well, as are the seats which come in different designs, colors and materials... We have black/white ones which are painted with music-notes etc
Have a nice ABC-Wednesday / _ Week

In the UK we call WC's either lavatory or toilet or more commonly 'Loos'.
Usually they are called bathrooms in the US. We have a separate Loo downstairs
which is most useful for me so I don't need to use the stairs as i have
mobility issues.
best wishes,

I too have heard WC!
