Bathrooms retrofitted into nineteenth-century cottages
The nineteenth-century cottages restored during Zionsville's downtown preservation effort, work recognized with a March 2025 Indiana Main Street designation, were built before indoor plumbing was standard, so their bathrooms were added later, often in awkward, undersized spaces that a modern remodel has to work around rather than simply refresh.
Newer Zionsville bathrooms, more straightforward updates
Homes in Zionsville's newer subdivisions west of the historic brick Main Street were plumbed and laid out with modern bathroom standards from the start, so remodel work there tends to focus on finishes, walk-in showers, and fixtures rather than reworking a fundamentally retrofitted room.
