So... a son was involved, and only one bathroom in the basement? What
kind of hous is this?

That's not atypical in the Pittsburgh area. McKeesport and other sections
of the area have turn of the century houses, usually brown brick, and most
likely consisting of three floors (the basement is half-sunk because
everything seems to be on a hillside). It's not unlike some of the houses
you see in areas of Boston, especially the Cambridge area.

A good number of the homes in Pittsburgh I've been in (I lived there for 8
years) had one bathroom in the basement that was added on sometime in the
'20s or '30s, and generally one upstairs near the bedrooms that was added
anytime after 1950. But even still, there were homes where you had to go
all the way to the basement for the bathroom because it was the only
installed. Those homes, especially, were close to McKeesport.

I've lived in Pittsburgh all my life and have only been in 1 house that had
a bathroom only in the basement. Keep in mind my work also involves my
visiting people at home, so I've probably been in more homes than most
Pittsburgh residents. Then again, I am sure many had the '50's installed
bathrooms near the bedrooms.

The house has been on the news repeatedly and it's damn small for all those
people. Especially by today's standards, where all must have a bedroom!

I love this story. I can't wait for more facts on her daily life.
