Ten Rare Toilets in the World - Part 2
Today we continue to introduce the remaining five rare toilets.
SS
Relief-Casitas Municipal Water Department spent $50,000 to install the SS
Relief in 1991 so that sailors can drop anchor and use the facilities at any
time. While swimming is not allowed in the reservoir, visitors can kayak to two
aviation-style toilets.
Madeleine
Toilette, France - Visitors to the Place de la Madeleine in the 8th
arrondissement of Paris often head straight to the famous Church of
Sainte-Marie-Madeleine. However, hidden behind a nondescript wrought iron
fenced area lies another less appreciated architectural marvel. The Madeleine
Toilets is a designated historic monument dating back to 1905. At the time, it
was considered indecent to have a toilet next to a church, so the authorities
hid it underground. However, walking into this Art Nouveau toilet, one can't
help but wonder why anyone would want to hide it. Warm mahogany, pristine
stained glass and tile mosaics all add to the Belle Époque ambience.
Minquiers,
Jersey - On a rocky outcrop nine miles south of Jersey lies a group of smaller
islands - known as the Minquiers Islands. On the largest of these islands,
there is a small shed that has the distinction of being the most southerly
toilet in Britain. To go to the toilet here is to make history.
Canistrum
Toilets, Australia - These toilets were inspired by traditional Aboriginal
basket weaving and were chosen from nearly 200 entries. Not only are the
toilets visually impressive, they are also designed to withstand seasonal
flooding from the nearby Mary River.
Mick Jagger's Urinal in America - In the unisex restroom of this oldest bar in San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter, a gold plaque proudly reads: "Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones used this urinal during his concert at Petco Park on November 11, 2005."The urinals are surrounded by a Cali-style red lip graphic and usually have a second sign asking patrons to respect the singer's urination area.
