May have been, I'll have to look.

Remedies?

It looks like a clean out door on a chimney. From the picture it may
no longer be used as it appears quite close to the pipe going into the
chimney.

What are you using for heating? Coal, Natural gas, Electricity, .........?

Unless you are still using coal, I would clean it out and brick it shut,
After confirming that it is no longer needed with your current heating
system contractor.


OR

You could do what my brother did about 60 years ago when he was about
10; store your firecrackers in the space behind the door.

It could also be used to store that bottle of "secret" ingredient, if
your wife is a teetotaler.
