Greek Revival Bath with Transom Windows

http://www.charlie-allen.com

This bathroom was introduced into an 1853 Greek Revival row house. The home owners desired modern amenities like radiant floor heating, a steam shower, and a towel warmer. But they also wanted the space to match the period charm of their older home. A large glass-encased shower stall is the central player in the new bathroom. Lined with 3" x 6" white subway tile and fully enclosed by glass, the shower is bright and welcoming. And then the transom window at the top is closed, steam jets lining the shower create a relaxing spa. Although placed on an interior wall, the new bath is filled with abundant natural light, thanks to transom windows which welcome sunshine from the hallway. Photos by Shelly Harrison.

Charlie Allen Restorations Inc Hi whitmom,
I'm not sure why that is - might be a very similar style (Houzz tag the products)

Charlie Allen Restorations Inc Hi Laurie,
Unfortunately we don't have the measurements on hand - but the door is from Prestige - they may be able to provide a variety of fits.
Good luck!

Charlie Allen Restorations Inc Deborah and Chirper, glad to see that you both found inspiration from this bath. It's one of our favorite projects. Not sure about the grout appearing grey, it could be due to shadowing - but it sounds like you're on the right track.
