Vienna - Adolf Loos classy WC

We are back on Graben to finish the walk.  The window shopping continues to be great and then we came upon the famous Adolf Loos designed public water closets (toilettes!).  The story is that a local chemical maker need a  publicity stunt to showcase his chemicals. He purchased two wine cellars under Graben and turned them in to classy Modernist style public toilettes.  Chandeliers. Finely crafted mahogany.  And a .50 euro entrance fee.  Very clean and stylish.

Fancy entranceways.  No huge signs, you just have to be in the know!

Damen - women

Beautiful, lacy railing

Entrance doors...what awaits us inside?

I paid my fee, and was shown one of the stalls.  She locked the door
once I was in.  I was a little concerned that I would have to pay to
get out again!  Fancy flooring.

Nice wood.

Fancy lights and you can see the design of the door.

All in all, it was worth the 1/2 euro.  Fun and I get to tell you all about this classy WC.
