Examination of Toronto's oldest surviving toilet

TORONTO, ON- MARCH 10 - Elizabeth Nelson-Raffael points to the spot on the bowl where water would have entered through a lead pipe. Examination of Toronto's oldest surviving toilet offers a rare glimpse into how it worked. Toronto's first surveyor, John Howard, loved gadgets and had this one installed in his home, Colborne Lodge in what would become High Park. The toilet is a pan toilet, a copper pan (the bottom has fallen out) catches the poop and a lever is pulled up dipping the waste out of the pan. The lever also pulls a wire that released water from a cystern somewhere in the house. (Steve Russell/Toronto Star via Getty Images)
