Those homes are charming, Chickie'sMoma and Carol Dee!
My home is what is called these days a ranch house but at 111 years old, it looks like something off the Montana prairie! I have suggested that horse tack hanging on the wall under the porch roof would look about right
.
Thinking back 100 years ago and imagining it without the present kitchen (and attached bathroom and utility room), it is possible to image that the "front" bedroom was a dining room and the kitchen was where a bath and the basement stairwell is now. That would account for the old access to the basement . . . it was thru the floor but it seems likely that the room was a kitchen rather than a bedroom and bath
.
The bathroom door frame from what is now that front bedroom was put in sometime after the house was built. The closet door frame beside it, is older . . . that may mean that one would use what is now a closet door to access the earlier kitchen . .
!
These days, I use that closet to reach a place I call . . .
