If necessary I will wall the door up and box over the stairs again. For now, it is just really convenient to get from one floor to the other without going outside and around and back inside.
This weekend I need to take out these partition walls that were installed in, I think, the between-wars years, when the house was converted to a triplex.
The photo is confusing, but basically you’re looking into the foyer, except the foyer was split up into three parts to give each unit a separate entry after the front door.
