I had this same question. I found the answer on http://www.plumbingsupply.com/pmwhitehouse.html. It stated that there were plans during the Roosevelt administration for a major alteration to the White House in 1902 and that Plumbing was huge part of those plans. However the website does not specifically say whether it was altering exhisting indoor plumbing or installing completely new indoor plumbing. Here is the direct quote: "Because there was a restricted amount of money available for this renovation, as well as limited time and the crude equipment of 1902, it was impossible to do all of the work that needed to be done. Nevertheless, plumbing was a central part of the plan, as bathrooms were installed and pipes and electrical wiring replaced as part of the first floor refurbishment. In order to safeguard the attic from fire, workers installed a new standpipe with fire hose that ascended into the attic and out to a place where the city fire department could easily use it in case of fire. The ensuing report explained, "In the house proper, more than one half of the lower floors is given up to dressing rooms, with toilet rooms attached, conveniences heretofore entirely lacking. The removal of the pipes from the corridor gives a spacious passageway dignified by the fine architectural features constructed by Hoban."
The ancient Egyptians had flush toilets. The ancient Romans had indoor plumbing.
Indoor Plumbing
The first indoor bathtub was introduced in 1870. It was in Seattle, Washington. John Michael Kohler later made the first tub specifically for indoor bathing in 1883. He did this by applying enamel to a horse through. His company later started making indoor toilets, sinks, and other plumbing. Kohler is still a popular name in indoor plumbing to this day.
