Follow-up: Former public washrooms in Ottawa

As a follow-up to our earlier post about the best and worst public washrooms in Ottawa , check out this interesting collection of photos of public “comfort stations” in Ottawa.

It’s from the Urbsite blog, and the photos include this note: ** ** “Contemporary concerns about safety and sanitation have made the public convenience a rare avis in today’s cities. Most of the examples in this post have been walled up and closed. This post isn’t about not finding a place to go, most just happen to be sealed. It’s a survey of 100 years of a small building type.”
