CALLAHEAD’S Charles W. Howard Designed a Gilded Age Portable Restroom

    CALLAHEAD President and CEO Charles W. Howard creates the Biltmore, a gilded age constructed portable restroom, for wealthy residential clients—a first in the portable restroom market.

    The Biltmore Portable Restroom was developed for upscale residential communities such as the Hamptons, North Shore, and Westchester. CALLAHEAD has innovated and designed more for the portable sanitation sector than any other firm since 1976. Charles W. Howard, an award-winning builder and designer, is the creator of all CALLAHEAD ideas and concepts.

    The Biltmore Portable Restroom by CALLAHEAD not only provides gilded era charm to the place, but it also adds value. This is the first time anyone has developed a portable restroom like the Biltmore for long-term building jobs. Mr. Howard was questioned about why he created the Biltmore Portable Bathroom. “Most portable restrooms for construction create a perfect contrast at the job site; we wanted to create a portable restroom that flowed with the coloring, creating a higher value,” Mr. Howard explained.

    The Biltmore is unlike anything seen in the construction industry, thus it stands to reason that Howard, an award-winning designer, would be the one to design it. Mr. Howard carefully selected the subtle green and yellow exterior to evoke a bygone period. A bronze plaque reminiscent of the Gilded Age is a specialty-designed CALLAHEAD marker. The design of the plaque is aged and partly polished, displaying colours and shadows as if it were 150 years old, contributing to the Biltmore’s historical flair. The Biltmore’s roof is an aqua tint. Everything about the Biltmore’s design was carefully considered in order to provide sophistication on-site while also blending in well with high-end real estate.

    I asked Mr. Howard why he designed the Biltmore in the first place. “The Biltmore was designed for old-world residential homes and architecture in affluent neighborhoods. The goal with the Biltmore is to increase property value rather than decrease it while it is onsite.” Howard explained, “The Biltmore will naturally increase property value while on the property, while a plain traditional portable restroom could decrease real estate value. The Biltmore makes for happier property owners and happier neighbors.”

    Mr. Howard created the Biltmore for CALLAHEAD with the Vanderbilt Mansion in mind, making it appropriate for any estate, landmark, or upscale home construction or remodeling project. The Biltmore, on the other hand, is not only a beautiful antiqued-style portable restroom on the outside, but it is also the cleanest in the industry. Users may be assured of the cleanest portable restrooms in the field thanks to CALLAHEAD’s usage of only hospital-grade cleaners and disinfectants. The Biltmore Portable Restroom is a win-win situation for both property owners and construction personnel.

    A lockable door with an occupancy sign for privacy, a comfortable toilet seat, a non-splash urinal, a covered double toilet paper dispenser, an antiseptic dispenser, a coat and hat hook, a hover handle, a convenience shelf, an interior mirror, and an LED solar panel ceiling light provide plenty of light inside day or night. Furthermore, the Biltmore requires no electricity at all to function.

    Whether you are building a home in East Hampton, Brookville, Scarsdale, or Central Park or the Upper East Side of Manhattan, the Biltmore Portable Bathroom will add value to any great real estate location with gilded era beauty.
