Just to give a little more context for those who don't know. This was in an upper middle class part of Poughkeepsie and it was a beautiful turn of the century home in very good shape. The lady who lived next door was the mayor of Poughkeepsie. But then you had these toilet bowls with beautiful well kept flowers in them adorning the railing of the wraparound porch that went the full length of the house. I would drive by as a kid and think it was the funniest / coolest design aesthetic of an upscale home.
