Update: Joe Bagley, City Archaeologist, and the Paul Revere House have clarified that contrary to some news reports, it is NOT Paul Revere’s privy. The outhouse is located two house sites away from the Revere House, on the opposite side of the Pierce/Hichborn House (part of the PRH Museum property).
