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.#oldbuilding #stonebuilding

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"
