My 100 year old house has marks on the floor that look like it was worn from a door swinging. Very distinctive arc pattern. Like it was there for many years and was under frequent use.

The problem is that there's no door there, just a wall, which is also the edge of a dormer...so if there were a door there it would just open out onto a sloping roof.

Every time I register it I contemplate why it's there and wtf happened.

There was most likely a closet or other crawl space storage area there. My house has closets like that but luckily full height entries to them so we can actually step in. I’ve seen other houses with 1/2 or 1/3 height doors leading to under-roof crawl spaces for storage.
