The restoration of an 1899 Queen Anne design, with columns and double gallery added ca. 1910 to update the house in the Colonial Revival style with sweeping front and side porches up and downstairs, and a new carriage house apartment. All the rooms and ceilings are wallpapered, original oak trim is stained, restoration of original light fixtures and replacement of missing ones, short, sheer curtains and roller shades at the windows. The project included a small kitchen addition and master bath, and the attic was converted to a guest bedroom and bath.
Volz & Associates, Inc. There is already a great deal of talk about both the size of the bathroom and the tub in another discussion about this photo. Instead of cutting and pasting a lengthy string here, I'm going to let you go look for it. Thanks for asking.

And as food for thought I'm going to cut-n-paste a similar discussion. imlaurel: "Before you replace a regular tub, decide if you really want to have to clean under and behind a clawfoot. If you like long soaks, some clawfoots don't hold the heat and you spend so much time adding hot water to keep warm that it isn't relaxing."
And we added "We agree with Laurel's comment. It is important to do research first. We work with historic cast iron tubs which have superior heat retention but they are also very heavy, especially once loaded with water."
where did you get the shower rail from? - I've just bought a roll top bath but need a shower rail like this where the curtain goes all the way round. The only one i've seen has 4 legs attached which means the shower curtain will only go half way. »
