This home was built around 1885 and has had few changes. I don't know if
they have what you need, I haven't been inside for about 4 years and I
can't remember the bathrooms. I do know that the builders spared no
expense and there are some very fascinating architectural and design
elements still in the home.

 

Now, I would take what the volunteers tell you with a grain of
salt...they still tell the story about closets being taxed as rooms...
:-) This home, however, was a great delight to see.

Subject: c.1881 Shower

 

Does anyone have, or know of, any historic homes with an untouched
c.1881 shower with the pipes concealed inside the wall?  I'm looking to
find if this was ever done in a residential (as opposed to commercial)
application.  

Thanks for any help you can provide.
