Dead space in a multi-floor home
Here’s a pretty fascinating discovery in someone’s home. After looking closely at a cubby in the kitchen, the OP was confused why it was there. Sure, you can have cubbies installed wherever you want, but this one stuck out like a sore thumb. Were the previous homeowners super-religious or something?
Turns out that this cubby was installed later on as a way to close up dead space in the home. Perhaps the previous homeowners wanted to construct a second floor for the home and had to find a way to close up any remaining dead space. Hence, this cubby and its mysterious cross design.
