Ok folks, what do you call a toilet and vanity sink just standing in a bedroom? They're in corners against the wall, but no surrounding walls at all. I have 2 bedrooms this way in this 100+ yr old house. I actually have 4 pottys and sinks, but only one true enclosed bathroom. The 4th is in a upstairs hallway, just outside 2 bedrooms. Just out in the open.
I was told a previous owner had a gaggle of kids, so thats why all this weirdness.
Whoa.. now that is weird. I had a summer house with sinks in three of the 4 bedrooms. It had been part of a turn of the century beach club.
But toilets??
Ah.. I know.................super huge 1/2 baths. They aren't bedrooms at all!
Now.. the hall situation............that IS weird.

The ONLY place I've come across full on weirdness like this was while vacationing in Europe. I've seen bathtubs / jacuzzis in Bedrooms in the U.S. before- but never toilets just out in the open here! That's... different!
How is that unsanitary? There's a place nearby to wash hands. That's all you need.
Becuase the bacteria that cause food poising are mostly residents of the intestines and the fecal/oral route spreads a lot of diease. You really want to reduce the amount of e-coli in your kicthen, not increase it.

I'll let you in on a little secret: The e-coli bacteria wash down the drain when you wash your hands.

I've thought about having them removed, but since I'm old, thinking the one in my room might come in handy someday. Guess I could put up a privacy screen...
Have you ever installed a toilet into an existing structure?
I suspect not.
Still does not answer the question. Why install only a toilet in an existing structure?
