BrieCS is right – they’re a relic from the old days when the mills were still open, and guys would be completely covered in soot when they left work. They’d go in through the basement door, shower and use the bathroom, and then come upstairs. This was back in the days when women had to hang the laundry INSIDE to dry, because the air was so sooty it would dirty the clothes again if they hung them in the yard. Considering most Pittsburgh houses were built before WWII, it’s not surprising they’re so common.

My house in Bloomfield had one, with a shower and a radiator. I’ve seen houses with kitchens in the basement too (Italian) They never used the real kitchen unless company was in for the holidays.

I went home after this discussion on Twitter and told my wife “Guess what they were discussing on Twitter today?” Snarkily she replied “What ever were they talking about on Twitter?” (She doesn’t get Twitter”. I said “Pittsburgh Potty’s!” She immediately said “You’re not putting that thing back in.”

I love her, but this needs to change.
