It's the only toilet I know of in the county without doors.. Ironic that it is smack dab in the middle of Mercer Island where they could put MARBLE doors if they wanted. I hate that toilet.
Gotta tell you, if I'm using an outhouse in the woods, I much prefer one without a door, or I'll prop the door open to enjoy the view. Who'd want to shut themselve in a small dark smelly place? In New England, the outhouses have doors so they can be shut and locked from the outside when unoccupied - to keep the porcupines from eating the toilet seat (they like salt).

Now if you want the true outdoor experience, try a chum box (box with hole, no walls). I know the locations of a few in CT and VT. Still more luxurious than the dig-your-own-hole option.
