1st Floor - Downstairs Bathroom

All of the bathrooms in this house were added 30 years after the house was built. The two bathrooms downstairs were built by enclosing existing outside porches. The upstairs bathroom converted a linen closet and stole some space from a bedroom.

When we bought the house

This bathroom had a clawfoot tub which was removed in the 1960s modernization. A low profile tub replaced it. 

We gutted the room and replaced all of the old cast iron pipes and what was left of the old wiring. The window was replaced with a larger one.

We added a tin ceiling and new lights.

The part the guys liked the best was moving the 300 pound cast iron tub around the house, up the stairs, turning it on it's side and fitting it through the door.  I don't think they really appreciated me telling them, "See I knew it would fit."

This is the finished bathroom.
