This view illustrates the rear half of the greater part of two domestic lots that were stripped of overburden to expose subsurface features.

A wide range of features were exposed during the archaeological mitigation for the Presidential Library Parking Garage. This is the remains of a collapsed brick cistern associated with a middle nineteenth century house.

A wide variety of privy pits were excavated as part of the mitigation project. This privy was constructed by planing a wooden barrel into the ground and backfilling around it.

The privies associated with the earlier, upper-class families in this neighborhood were brick lines. The large oval privy in the background represents a large, early privy associated with an affluent family. The smaller, rectangular one in the foreground represents a much later version.

The domestic environment of the affluent households in this neighborhood during the middle nineteenth century generally had a small ancillary outbuilding immedidately behind the house that functioned as a summer kitchen or wash house. This is the foundation of one such building.
