Emard bath #1





A continuing series of images devoted to a home in West Adams Heights coming to market in late May.

The downstairs bath is nearly complete, impressively rendered in white subway and hexagonal ("hex") tile. A 3/4 bath, with period toilet, and a slender pedestal sink, it recalls the post-Victorian era, wherein bathrooms seeking an association with things "sanitary", moved away from conspicuous ornamentation and color.

Either that, or it was a ruse to make tile setters rich.
