Yeah, nothing surprising about it. The porch is angled away from the house as it should be. I don't remember the details about the supports RE: house --> porch (whether they are all one or added on or what. But it wouldn't surprise me if at some point the house was leveled and the porch intentionally allowed to droop (water run-off) or just got that way over time with less attention paid to the porch.
The left room is ~9.5' wide, then ~7' hall, then ~11' room and ~6' porch.
Most of the house studs that I've seen (walls and ceilings) are on roughly 24" centers.
