Part of a house or building lying behind, usually subsidiary to the front or main part, or forming an appendage. In Anglo-Saxon usage, “gonge,” in ancient castle or monastery usage “necessarium” or “reredorter,” and in United States usage “outhouse” or “privy” when separate from the main building. Shelters the primitive and unsanitary prototype of the water closet or toilet. Photo from Millbrook Village Historic Site, Millbrook, New Jersey, 2021. (Kremer, 2021)
