A Pittsburgh toilet, or Pittsburgh potty, is a common fixture in pre-World War II houses built in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States and the surrounding region. It consists of an ordinary flush toilet installed in the basement, with no surrounding walls. Most of these toilets are paired with a crude basement shower apparatus and large sink, which often doubles as a laundry basin. Also, because western Pennsylvania is a steep topographical zone, many basements have their own entryway, allowing homeowners to enter from their yard or garage, cleanse themselves in their basement, and then ascend their basement stairs refreshed.

dbo:abstract
  • Un Pittsburgh toilet (littéralement « toilette de Pittsburgh »), ou Pittsburgh potty, est un élément courant dans les maisons d'avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale construites à Pittsburgh et dans la région environnante, aux États-Unis. Il se compose d'une toilette à chasse d'eau ordinaire installée au sous-sol, sans murs d'enceinte. La plupart de ces toilettes sont associées à un appareil de douche sommaire et à un grand lavabo, toujours au sous-sol. Comme l'ouest de la Pennsylvanie est une zone topographique escarpée, de nombreux sous-sols ont leur propre entrée, permettant aux propriétaires d'entrer depuis leur cour ou leur garage, et de se laver dans leur sous-sol avant de monter les escaliers et rejoindre leur maison, propre. C'est d'autant plus important que la région de Pittsburgh est connue pour son industrie, notamment minière. (fr)

The toilet fixtures would also limit the harm of sewage backups in hilly Pittsburgh, providing a lower, flushable outlet than the main part of the house. (en)
