Thanks Fred, I was too busy looking at the outhouse to notice. That is pretty scary! I forgot the link in my above post, but just go to the site. I'll try to find it again.

THAT THING LOOKS ALMOST THE SIZE OF A SWORD! GREAT PICTURES! LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE STANDING AROUND DOING NOTHING IN SOME OF THOSE BOTTLE MAKING PICTURES. LOOKS LIKE THEYWOULD BE A BOTTLE IN ONE OF EM. LOOKS MIGHTY CLUTTERED AT THE OLE WORK PLACE. JAMIE

Hey Lauren,

Coulda been this place?

I'm confusred. Are you referring to the outhouse looking structure in the right foreground of the Brady "Chain Bridge" photo? I'm pretty sure that is a guard shack. This was a vital bridge into and out of DC at the height of the war. The privy woulda been somewhere on the bank, if there was one. Mebbe just a slit trench. Who knows.

No, it was on that Shorpy site. Search outhouses. There is a picture of Atlantic City.

OK...

Here's one when the bottle was young:

Jacob Riis found @ this German place.

Very neat picture! Great bottle! Facial hair was really "in" back then.[8|]
