Bathrooms in Wilmington's older housing

Neighborhoods like Trolley Square, the Highlands, Cool Spring and Little Italy are mostly brick rowhomes and twins with plaster walls, narrow stairways and bathrooms tucked over the kitchen or at the back of the second floor. Those layouts limit what can move. Relocating a toilet usually means cutting joists or rerouting a cast-iron stack, so we look at the existing drain and vent path before anyone falls in love with a new floor plan.

Delaware summers are humid, and many older Wilmington bathrooms either have no exhaust fan or one that vents into the attic instead of outside. Peeling paint over the tub and dark grout lines near the ceiling are the usual signs. When we open a wall, we plan a properly ducted fan as part of the job, because a new tile shower in a bathroom that can't dry out will show problems within a few seasons.

Farther out, in Brandywine Hundred developments and around Pike Creek, the bathrooms are larger and newer, but builder-grade fiberglass tub units and vinyl floors are common. Those projects tend to be tub-to-shower conversions or primary bath upgrades rather than structural fixes.
