These are definitely the oldest toilet buildings around - and we think the most attractive in the park. Built for the 1876 Centennial Exhibition, these two buildings are remarkable because they are among the few utilitarian facilities to survive from any nineteenth century international exposition. Currently used as storage sheds, the buildings need substantial restoration and adaptive reuse.
