Toilet on the back stairs
On the back stairs of the house in Havnegade, there are shared toilets on each floor, as was common in many urban apartment buildings in the 1970s. The WCs were installed in the 1950s.
Neighbours sharing facilities
From the mid-twentieth century onwards, many municipalities required buildings with access to sewers to install indoor toilets. In some places, each flat had its own toilet, while in others one or more shared toilets were installed, for example on the back stairs. In towns and cities, most people had previously shared a privy in the yard with their neighbours. A shared toilet on the back stairs was therefore a step forward for many.
