The most unique thing that comes to mind is rare in the present day, but was fairly common back in the sixties.

Bathtub in the kitchen of a tenement railroad apartment, complete with pull-chain toilet located behind a padlocked door outside the apartment and down the hall.

Ha...I grew up in one of those tenement apt. buildings IN Chinatown, Manhattan. The bathroom for the apt I was living in was the bathroom for the entire floor back when the building was built in 1922. There was only 2 windows in the living room.
