I've sold a few One Room Schoolhouses. It was common to have Two ¼ Baths . . . . one for the Boys and one for the Girls.
What's that mean ? Well, a Full Bath is 4 Appliances: Tub; Shower; Wash Basin; and a Toilet. A ¾ Bath has no Tub or no Shower; while a ½ Bath usually has neither Tub or Shower.
So, a ¼ Bath is only One Appliance - Only a Commode in this case.
You'd figure that the sum of the two ¼ Baths was a ½ Bath; but they were separated by a wall. I would usually put Two ½ Baths in MLS; but that was a total exaggeration.
I don't know how the Pupils were expected to wash their paddys ?
I guess you'd flush first, and wash afterwards ?
They must have developed good immune systems.

When owners clear out, they don't always know where little Johnny hid his porn. As a buyer's agent, I've found it - WITH buyers along. "What's this in the basement crawlspace?" "Strap-On Girls 10" "Nevermind."

So Perky, where do you have those films stored now ?
I once had to sell a mobile home that had been the "Life Estate" of an elderly woman.
She had a Boy Friend (about 75 years old) who lived in the mobile with her . . . . and somehow thought that her Life Estate would continue on after her death and give him a place to bunk down forever. That's not the way it works !
I had to give him the bad news and warn him that the Sheriff would have to be called is he didn't move out . . . . which he did. After his departure, I went in and found the place was piled high in every corner with thousands of issues of PlayBoy; Hustler; and other less tasteful publications dating back about 30 years . . . . it was a real fire trap.

Just checkin' ! You made them sound like such collector's items.
Being on reels, I don't suppose you can really tell what they are until you watch them.
