LOL...Public Toilet-1, Cannonball-0

Perhaps this was the origin of the phrase "built like a brick sh*t house!"

I know that I'd leave a big a$$ skid mark if I was on the other side of that wall when the cannon ball made contact...

Reminded me of this Ridgefield Conn. landmark from the Battle of Ridgefield, April 27, 1777. Keeler Tavern Marker

It appears about the same size. The British had 6 artillery pcs on this expedition. Both of the balls appear about the same size, maybe 3 inches. Would this hae been called a 4 pounder?
