Wellll... I was always glad that on a moon-lit night that decorative slit (1/4 moon in the door) allowed a wee bit more light into the outhouse, and somehow it always seamed to shine just where I needed it to. We kept the door closed on account of the varmints and it got dark & scary in there without it. The spaces between the roof rafters, floor/side boards, loose door, knot holes, and vent shaft did not do much to help the odor. Basement houses with flat ground level roofs and outhouses were still a part of the neighborhood as a youngster. You're probably correct, I've never been in one? :)
