Two Story Outhouse

An unusual structure that services an old two-story hotel. The upstairs section of the outhouse can only be accessed by a catwalk from the upstairs hotel rooms.

However, don't miss the rest of the state park. It has one of 21 old Spanish missions, the hotel, a good example of a two-story Adobe house, blacksmith shop and a very interesting display of old wagons and carriages.

Costs $7 to see the whole shebang. Takes 2 hours to thoroughly see the whole thing (reading all the plaques and museum displays).

Two Story Outhouse

In California on the State PBS stations, there is a series called "California Gold" done by Huell Houser. One of his shows touched on a two-story outhouse in San Juan Bautista (a state historical park). It's just a short walk from the mission featured in Hitchcock's film "Vertigo."
