I had friends studying at Cooper-Union that stayed in tenement apartments that had the water closet in a literal closet with a tiny window, no sink. Claw foot bathtub was to one side of the tiny open kitchen space. It had a fold-up wooden lid with a plastic table cloth between bathing times.
Umm...about them dishwashers, I had one installed, third floor.
Reminds me of the first apartment I had....2nd floor..4 rooms , was a former Attorney’s office.
The Stove, shower and toilet were all in the same small room!!!
Needless to say we moved on from there.
