We inherited this when we bought our house last year. It is about 2 feet by 2 feet, locked and in very poor condition. It was originally used as a easy way to get firewood into the the house.
We have begun the process of removing the wood stove (the same stove that the Chimney Swift flew into in May of this year - https://365project.org/joysabin/365/2022-05-12). This little door is going to be removed and the wall patched in the near future.
I’m fascinated to know where it is located in relation to the rest of the house. We too used to have a milk box at one of my childhood homes but I don’t remember it ever being used. I think, by the time we moved in, milk men had pretty much been replaced by the corner neighbourhood store.
@onewing@pusspup@joansmor@talmon@marlboromaam@gardencat@bkbinthecity@joemuli@tstb13@ljmanning@jgpittenger@haskar@gardencat Thank you so much. This little door is on the west side of my house, basically my backyard. Having a wood stove in Oregon is almost a standard requirement. We can't use the stove as it is damaged and wasn't repaired. I am not a fan of them so we plan to remove both the door and stove at some later date. I am curious that there is a lock as the door is only 15 inches by 15 inches.
