Bartine Outhouse

This historic five-hole outhouse was built for prominent Eureka businessman Frederick Bartine (1888-1964). A native of Finland, Bartine immigrated here in 1901. Soon after, he prospered as owner of the Ruby Hill Water Works, the Bartine Ranch, the Bartine Service Station, and two mining claims on Willow Creek. The outhouse itself had a troubled past, being moved numerous times and becoming the center of a legal dispute. It later found a home on the site of the old Eureka Barber Shop and is being restored and maintained through private donations. It remains the only known five-hole outhouse in Nevada.
