Interestingly, there is one house that I know of with both hot and cold freshwater plumbing as well as hot and cold salt water plumbing: the Breakers mansion, built by the Vanderbilts. I'm sure they spent fortunes maintaining that plumbing and think the tour guide said something to that effect, but everything was a show of wealth there. One room featured platinum wallpaper, because, why not?
