The new bathroom at Dow Farm.
This “Victorian” bathroom is new. The marble sink top, faucets, toilet and toilet slate are antique, the custom cherry cabinetry, beadboard walls and ceiling, and floor are new. The cabinets were made in the shop on the property.
Few new bathrooms are this authentic in feeling, but it can be done. The room also contains an antique tin tub in new cherry cabinetry. A modern stall shower is tucked in an alcove at the other end of the room.
The bathroom is a recent project at Dow Farm, one of the 13 featured houses in “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners.”
Designing new bathrooms and kitchens for historic houses of different periods is covered in Chapter 3.
The award-winning and best-selling 720-page hardcover book is available in bookstores nationwide and from online retailers.
