They demoed the upstairs bathroom this week. It went in several stages: first, all of the fixtures (sink, cabinets, shower, toilet, light fixtures, etc.) were removed; next, the plaster walls, vinyl flooring, and ceiling tiles were cleared; finally, the lath and remaining plaster were stripped along with all the guts of the plumbing. You would never know that it was formerly a bathroom. Like parts of the downstairs, it is now just brick exposed walls and support beams. Our contractor Joel said it is often not cost effective to try to remodel the old space; it's easier to demo the whole space and start from scratch. I am just happy to see it go. There was not one thing worth keeping in that bathroom. It was probably a 70s remodel. When it comes time to choose flooring, I will consider putting some white hex tiles on the floor similar to those that I found downstairs, or something equally classic. We will never roll it back to 1901, but we can make choices that will make it more harmonious with the older details around it.
