Having a bathroom and WC inside was a major luxury - a clear sign of high social standing. While indoor water closets (flush toilets) were becoming popular among the elite, most Copenhagen residents still used outdoor privy barrels in the courtyard.
The story of this dollhouse takes place in Copenhagen in the late 1890s. At that time, only the wealthiest families, upscale apartments, and newer buildings in the city had indoor toilets.
