Vintage Office Building Men’s Restroom Half Shoot!

Built in 1928, this is another restroom in this building that actually has a urinal that is a men’s restroom, not a unisex restroom. There was a lot more restrooms in this building, but I didn’t want to overstay my welcome here and every restroom here was locked.
Anyways, Rating of the fixtures in this restroom:
• One 1927 Unknown Antique Urinal. Rating 10/10!
• Three 1927 Side Spud “Standard” Siacto Toilets. Rating 10/10! (One not shown due to being low on time, and didn’t want to be suspicious.)

Beyond amazing fixtures

[@aftplumbingofficial]

Definitely!

Excellent video. Amazing toilets, I have never seen the flush mechanism on the side of the flushometer. The tile is magnificent. Very clean restroom

[@aftplumbingofficial]

I agree! And I have a few times but it is very rare.

Beyond amazing

[@aftplumbingofficial]

Yep!

Those toilets with the side-mounted flushometer inlets disappeared after 1930; but Sloan still cataloged the relevant flushometer models (the 130 series) up to 1939. I wonder why the side-inlet bowls disappeared?

Oh wow! Very interesting information! And I wonder as well, probably people didn’t like it?

@@aftplumbingofficial Beats me; maybe so. I hope someone else can provide us a more accurate answer.

@@aftplumbingofficial My other guess is maybe since most fixtures had front-mounted spuds and thus flushometers with left-facing handles, some people were not familiar with those off to the (left) side of the fixture.
