A lot of the doors also featured these grates in the bottom, perhaps to aid in ventilation.

That reminds me of something like "A Series Of Unfortunate Things" stories set in old houses with old dusty books and old raidators...

Neat! :)

Sweet shot! Just waiting for some eyes to pop up and stare back at me. Very cool.

Now thats sad, if the doors only had a keyhole or a vent hole to peer out of. I can see some poor person lying on their stomach watching the feet shuffle by. :(

I want one of those. It's elegant in its simplicity and antiquity.

Not something they'd put effort into nowadays. Today it'd just be some crappy mesh because 'who will look at it?'

I'm sure this grate was to prevent anyone from sticking their hands through the hole.

I agree with LucieLou. I would spend the majority of the day on my stomach watching feet shuffle by. Fascinating perspective.
