rural relic

the old homestead 6

 

Once a common feature on each homestead, an outhouse is now a rare rural relic.  Many an outhouse met its demise as part of a high school prank.  It's hard to believe that conveniences that we take for granted, like electricity and indoor plumbing, were not available in farm communities in Lubbock County until the 1940s.
