Re: (rshsdepot) Question



The answer to that one is obvious, Paul. It's what was politely referred to
here in Providence as a "Comfort Station",  aka a public restroom. There
were two large ones located at the main exchange points for trolleys. They
were located under ground to avoid any more congestion on the already
crowded streets..
