Out House

Picture 18 of 18

This picture is one of the last remaining out-houses in use in Westchester County. It’s located on Hen Island’s south end. In 1989, Rye city records showed 11 out-houses in use on Hen Island. Today this is the only one that remains. What happened to the 10 out- houses that were removed, and who approved the conversions to the toilets that replaced them?

Neither the City of Rye nor the County of Westchester have any record of ever approving such systems on Hen Island. Try installing a new bathroom in your home somewhere else in Rye and see what the consequences will be.
