Early AAV.

[Tom Raymond]

This was in a powder room that was tucked into the cupboard under the stairs. It appeared to be an original feature from 1902, both in finishes in the room and the plumbing connections in the basement. There was a light weight bell, for lack of a better word, at the open end. Just how long have AAVs been around?

That's a handy gizmo. You could check on the status of the plumbing while you were on the crapper. []

It seemed to be working fine. Nothing out of the ordinary when I ...er...tested the facilities.

I'm pretty sure the pine tree air freshener was just a courtesy.
