A lot of older homes were build with two front doors. There are a lot of theories as to reason for the two identical front doors. Odd, isn’t it? Here is an architectural feature widely used (in several US regions over several decades) and we don’t have a definitive reason as to why. Here is a sampling of reasons.
I have a friend moving into such a house in September. One front door opens into a living room, the other into a bedroom. Why? I don’t know. This just might be one of the mysteries of life.

In Columbus, Texas
Thursday is for doors over at Norm 2.0.
Facinating! I have never seen a house with two doors like this, thank you for sharing 🙂
That is odd. It really is the same house? Same address? And it was built like this? I’ve never seen this before – thanks for sharing.
Yes, same house. Not as common as they used to be. Not built that way anymore and when some are remodeled one of the doors is removed. Still, not surprising to see that style in older homes.
The only houses I’ve seen like this are side-by-sides, built to house to families or people. How strange to have two doors for one house.

Interesting. I wonder which one guests are supposed to knock on!
I hope people didn’t barge into the bedroom by mistake; must be a huge deadbolt lock inside the bedroom. 🙂
How odd . . .lovely feature though
How strange, but interesting…you have to wonder why….thank you for sharing…it’s another puzzle to ponder!
They look kind of like the doors on multi-family homes.
It does make it look like a duplex, but the ones like these are single family homes.
That’s cool. I had never seen doors like that before except on a duplex!
