A Mud Room?
This entrance to the house looks like a mud room. A place where you stop to remove your muddy boots or shoes before entering the cinderblock house. I doubt there are hardwood floors inside that need to be protected from wet boots.
However, I can’t figure out what else that strange entrance could have been for.
Of course, now are aren’t many windows or even a full roof so it is a moot point. It doesn’t look like siding was used to cover the plywood either. It looks like it was just painted white.
I’d love to know the history of some of these old places.
