Cross Handle Faucets
There’s a reason you don’t see these in typical homes today, and it’s because they’re typically more trouble than they’re worth. They are practically the only “positive” thing about them, as novel as they can be. Just because these were the standard in the 1800s doesn’t suggest they can continue to be so today. If you want to achieve an old-fashioned, rustic style, you can strip all plumbing and replace it with an outhouse. Take it all the way!
