    This is common in old houses. I don’t know if that’s the case here. Houses built before indoor plumbing would be upgraded, the kitchen would get water, and a new bathroom would be built next to the kitchen where the new plumbing was. There would be no water or other bathroom in the entire house.

    My grandparent’s house was built like this, they still had the old water hand pump in the front yard, and they had an outhouse until the plumbing was upgraded.
