Once upon a time, this house had a dining room. It also had just two bedrooms and one bathroom.
This much we've deduced through close examination of our very odd floor plan.
Some prior owner decided to make it a three bedroom, and attached the third bedroom onto the end of house, requiring a strange and twisty hallway be built through/between the existing bedrooms to get to it.
Another prior owner, or perhaps the same one, decided the house needed a second bathroom as well. The only spot they could find to put it was smack dab in the middle of the large dining room. Leaving behind a much smaller dining room. Sort of.
"Dining room" was generous even before they added the Looming Cabinet.

The end result was a room too small and cramped to be a usable dining room, and too far from the front door to be a foyer. For lack of a better term, we not so affectionately referred to it as "the entry hall": apprximately 50 square feet of space whose only purpose was the acquire cruft.
Now at last, having finally erased all traces of The Looming Cabinet (and The Secret Door behind it), I present to you:
The inaugural meal in the New-to-us Dining Room:
