Editing Gays, Illinois (section)

==Arts and culture==
A two-story [[outhouse]] is located in the town. It was built in 1869 for [[apartment]]s that were attached to a general store. The top floor was used by the apartment dwellers while the bottom floor was used by patrons of the store. Although the store and apartments were demolished, the outhouse remained. Each level has two seats, so the outhouse could be used by four at a time. Waste from the top level dropped behind a false wall into a pit.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/2527|title=Two-Story Outhouse, Gays, Illinois|website=RoadsideAmerica.com|language=en|access-date=August 18, 2019}}</ref> It is located at the corner of N Pine Street and Front Street. {{Coord|39.45889|-88.49553|format=dms|name=Two-story outhouse|type:landmark}}

West of the outhouse is the former site of what was claimed to be [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]]'s bicycle. A rusty bicycle once hung on a pole with a sign that read "Hitler's Bike (1932)".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.memphisflyer.com/backissues/issue486/trvl486.htm|title=The Memphis Flyer: Travel - June 11, 1998|website=www.memphisflyer.com|access-date=August 18, 2019|archive-date=March 4, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304043632/http://www.memphisflyer.com/backissues/issue486/trvl486.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>
