Troth

Troth

Many porches were attached to the buildings, some with translucent roofs and sides to maximize sun exposure - one of the early treatments for tuberculosis, along with lots of fresh air.

Strange indeed! What was its intended purpose? A wash basin? Awesome lighting and must of been a lovely place to sit and breathe at one time.

I would love to sit here in the sunshine hearing the birds and wildlife around me...how peaceful. I don't know what that trough would be used for though.

A water pipe from the wall extends above the trough, and a drain pipe comes down on the far end. Could have been used to wash numerous things. Soldiers, vegetables, body parts, underwear, brains, etc..
