Default Does this bath setup NEED a vent fan??

I was out and about and ran across this. I was wondering if this type of bath setup NEEDS a vent fan?

It is a little close to the living room with the TV right there an all. So to direct the exhaust "gases" away I am wondering, vent fan or no vent fan, and then which way would you suggest?

Thanks for your help in advance guys and ladies..

PS.. I would write up the stairs to the toilet though,, it needed a HANDRAIL IMHO

Certainly doesn't appear to be ADA compliant. . .

Be sure to check for moisture around the tub. I'm betting you will find some.

If that's a real cast iron Classic Roll Rim Clawfoot Bathtub
You may have left the price of a few inspections sitting in that field.
Were tell selling it for $10?

These are a real pain in the arse to move but well worth the investment for resale. One mans trash anothers treasure.
