Yahoo News reports on a bizarre discovery by a woman who purchased an old home in Denver.
The woman’s daughter-in-law posted an image of the discovery on Facebook where it went viral and spawned many theories about what it was.
The discovery involved a tiny door, the height of a soda can.
The daughter-in-law explains,
“My MIL bought this house built in the early 1900s in Denver. On the first floor, there are these two doors,” “One leads to the basement, and the second leads outside from the kitchen. They are very small, about the height of a soda can. Any ideas?”
After many wild theories were floated online, most people came to believe the tiny doors were used as “cat flaps” to allow cats to move from one area of the house to another.
Another more practical theory that emerged was that the tiny doors were used for old washing machines equipped with gasoline engines.
So far, the jury is still out about the use of the tiny doors.
