The New York, Ontario & Western Railway's concrete sanitary outhouses,
of the type shown in the drawings, looked very similar to their
telephone booth shown in the photo, and were sometimes mistaken
for them.
The C.F. Massey Co. manufactured these
sanitary reinforced concrete
outhouses and sold them in 1911 for $85 FOB Newark, New Jersey.
These little structures had an occupancy for two and were portable,
although of considerable weight. The outside walls of the octagonal-shaped
structures had built-in panels, two doors with windows, a tin-centered
roof vent and octagonal peaked roof. It is believed that Massey
also manufactured the telephone booths, using similiar concrete
casting except for the door and window positions and without the
roof vent.
