I believe the "water closet" was invented in the Victorian Era.

I grew up in the hills of SW VA. My grandparent's house had "outdoor plumbing" up until the 60s. Actually they had an indoor bathroom put in, probably in the 40s/50s. But my grandfather didn't think it was sanitary.

Man, it gets cold in that part of the country in winter.
