The C.D. and Eliza Heath Bevington Privy is a historic building located in Winterset, Iowa, United States. Bevington was a pharmacist who passed through the area in 1849 on his way to the California Gold Rush. He settled in Winterset in 1853 after he made his fortune, and worked as a real estate agent, farmer, livestock dealer, and banker.[2][3] The 7.5-by-10.33-foot (2.29 by 3.15 m) structure is composed of roughly squared quarry faced rubble that is laid in a two against one bond. There is a stone vault with a depth of 6 feet (1.8 m) beneath the entire structure. The privy served the C.D. Bevington House. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1] It is now part of a museum complex operated by the Madison County Historical Society.
