I’m sunk in a spate of touch-up projects right now. So I will attempt to entertain with some pics I took 3 years ago (wooooosh—yes, that was Chronos winging away) at the Vrooman Mansion in Bloomington, Illinois. We’ll start with fixtures that feature lovely old wood.

And a little something to stoke my push-button obsession:
I think this might be the mother of all toilet seats:

Thanks for sharing. Those fixtures are amazing.
I love the quartersawn oak toilet tank. Curious that the wood on the seat doesn’t match.
Awesome! Those are REAL plumbing fixtures.
Good eye, Christopher. That seat looks kinda new. And I wouldn’t be surprised if the tank and bowl aren’t in their original pairing. That’s one of the cool things about those old toilets—if one part breaks, you don’t have to ditch the whole thing.
