[QUOTE="scoutshouse, post: 613020, member: 267"]Surprised to read this on Wikipedia: [I]The introduction of indoor flush toilets started to displace chamber pots, in the 19th century but they remained common until the mid-20th century. The alternative to using the chamber pot was a long cold walk to the outhouse in the middle of the night [/I] I'm not married to pot cupboard, but what's another explanation for that odd door? Here's one with marble interior. Which makes sense, being more sanitary. Most are shaped like this.
