It is for a home, my friend has them and one has a small crack and needs replacing. It looks much like a commercial toilet. thanks Colvin What is the best website to go to, to find toilets that hang on the wall.

Well, I wish to add that this appears not necessarily true. My Fall & Winter 1957 Sears Roebuck & Co catalog on page 1316 has a toilet under the heading: OUR BEST TOILET: Low and Modern. In White or Harmony House colors. It is a One Piece round bowl toilet with a low tank that only rises a few inches above the seat with a toggle flush on the left front. Also, in my Fall & Winter 1960 Montgomery Ward catalog, on page 760-761, they offer a similar low tank, one piece toilet in their new Fairway line in white, Blue, Coral, Green or yellow. oh..12" rough in. Not trying to make an argument, but if one likes these type of toilets or has a small space, these type were definitely available at least as early as 1957. Searching earlier catalogs may offer more info. So, relax......and have a seat! Hello All,
