       | In Pennsylvania, but outside of Pittsburgh I have lived in two
       | homes that had a setup like described here in the basement. The
       | one was actually still earth walls in most of the basement in a
       | house built 1870/1880. The toilet was no longer in use, (I never
       | tried to use it at least) but there was also a massive utility
       | sink, medicine cabinet, and space for a shower. This room also
       | shared space with the furnace and hot water heater... and had a
       | glass paned door that went to steps up to the ground level. This
       | room was cement floor, but then connected to an earthen floor
       | room that would give access to the kitchen via a flight of steps.
       | 
       | ---- The other house was much more modern, built sometime between
       | 1950-1970... and had a cement floor etc.
