  • While removing the bookshelves and fireplace mantle, we found a secret hidden door and compartment. We had no idea it was there for 2 years!

    That plywood looks newer than the 1930's even for being hidden behind the mantle. My guess is there was originally a fireplace or a wood stove inside the mantle when the house was first built. Yes, commercial plywood became viable in 1934, but didn't take off extensively until post WWII. When they took out the original fireplace/wood stove insert they built that box with the fake marble (also doesn't look to be 1930's) and when they did so they added the secret compartment.

      They may be as lucky as me. I have so many hidden places in my house, that was build by a bootlegger. I just posted about it. Even an entire secret room. He even had a speakeasy in what I call the cottage, he had dancing girls according to a neighbor who was 100 years old when I moved here. From the outside it looks just like a small normal house of the Great Depression years.
