salle d'eau versus salle de bains

I've never encountered the term "salle d'eau" before. How does this type of facility differ from a bathroom/salle de bains?

Even I wasn't here in 1920. What was different then? . . . or is it just an antiquated expression?

salle de bains is just a regular bathroom.

salle d'eau is if you live in 1920.

The "water room" as opposed to the "bathroom." Curious. I would assume they are the same thing but I suppose a water room might not have a bathtub or shower in it. Perhaps a wash room like our half bath?

Hopefully, one of our French friends will log on and explain this.

Salle d'eau in newly appartment refers to a bathroom with a shower and not a bath actually. Today, you often find a first bathroom and then a "salle d'eau". It is not from the begining of the 20th century. Cheers, Cyrille.
