Installed when this Colonial Revival summer “cottage” was built in 1897 it had the most modern conveniences of the age, including several bathrooms. When the house was restored, as many of the original bathroom fixtures as possible were retained, including this marble-topped sink.
Restoring historic bathrooms and designing compatible new ones are covered in Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners. The new 720-page hardcover volume will make a wonderful holiday gift for the old house lover in your life.
The book will be released on December 10th and is available for pre-order on the Target, Barnes & Noble, Powell’s Books, and Walmart websites and on Amazon. Reserve your copy today!
