Michael...you are right...in my old days working for a building designer..the rules at least in Southern California is just as you said..A full bath had to have a tub, with or without a shower over. Few houses have both a tub and stall shower. Before my wife had knee surgery we took out the old tub with shower over and installed a walk in shower so she didn't need to step over the edge, the bathroom went from defined as a full to 3/4.
Oh and in answer to the question what is 1.75 bath...that's two baths, a full with tub and the other with shower only, no tub. in a house this old the second bathroom would have been added in more resent years. in the old, old, old days, bathrooms only had tubs, no stall showers.
