A Mill Town Older Than Modern Plumbing Codes
Cherry Valley's oldest homes cluster around its original mill-and-rail-era core, platted by Eldwin Fitch in 1849 following Joseph Griggs's 1835 settlement on the Kishwaukee River.
Starting From Scratch Behind the Tile
Construction that old usually means a full bathroom remodel starts by confirming framing and drain routing from scratch rather than trusting an existing layout, since the building predates any modern waterproofing standard by more than a century.
