It was an Italian invention, and old paperwork found by Stowman indicates the labor-intensive work was done by an Italian company. The house is a wonder of ornate woodwork, unique windows, a sunken living room and sunroom, and two wood-burning fireplaces — one on the main floor and one in the basement. The crème da la crème just might be the long, deep bathtub, with a built-in seat, that’s in the main floor bathroom. The home’s original owner, a Mr. O’Leary, apparently made his money in plumbing supply sales. He traveled to expos and fairs, and Stowman believes O’Leary got that jewel of a bathtub at the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair.
