This is a mystery, and someone may know. This is a stone walled outhouse from over 100 years ago. That wall has a neat (or at least “deliberate”) rectangular hole. Behind the hole are two air bricks. But the whole lot is under ground, it is soil behind this bricks. But a large chunk of wood was poked in to that hole, bolted to another bit and going diagonally to the adjacent wall, just resting there. I am at a total loss as to what it could ever have been or why.

In this season of giving, we'd like to remember the donors who supported the East Lexington Branch Library at the Stone Building: Caira Robbins, Benjamin Wellington, Paulina Burbank Pierce, and Nelson W. Jenney.
Caira Robbins was Ellen Stone's great aunt. Read more about Caira - who had strong opinions - in "The Robbins Family of East Lexington, Massachusetts: Furriers and Their Clothing, 1775-1825"
