Ed was very close with his guess of a skate key. This particular key goes to the double door to the parlor.

That house of yours is so neat!
Evil pocket door... Must...
DESTROY POCKET DOOR!!!
that is all.
Very cool!
Puzzle solved, nice job keeping us all quessing, and thank you for your nice thoughts on my blog, I just love yours also!!!!
Kinda like the Lion, the Witch, and the wardrobe...very cool!!!
I have pocket doors, too, but I don't have that very cool hardware on them. Is that a patent date stamped on it?
it's kind of weird to be in love with a house i've never actually SEEN, but i am.
Your house reminds me of house that I wrote a National Register application for. It was built in 1874 and no expense was spared in the building.

Beautiful - thanks for the glimpses of your wonderful home!
Another treasure from your castle!
I see that link is not all there - sorry. The article is about the Zimmerman house in Oregon.
Dani, thanks, I have come to love it. It has a very strong "personality" and is an entity in and of itself. When we moved in it was as if for a while we were under trial before it decided that it liked us.
Becky, having seen your crushed finger I understand how you feel. That and the blood on the ceiling and all.
The Wife, thanks, I am glad Alan noticed it
Lisa, I am getting so much enjoyment out of seeing your pictures!! Especially your header. That is such a serene and comforting shot.
Ed, You know, we actually have a big old wardrobe up in one of the bed rooms. I wonder.....nah....I'm not climbing into that thing, lol
Akagaga, it is indeed 1885. We thought the house was older than that as there is something written in the attic about a roof being put on quite a lot earlier than that. We would love to know when it was actually built, but I have never been able to find out.
Erick, I understand. this house has loomed large in my life since long before I met the boss. (Although we lived about two miles apart when we were kids we never met until we were in our thirties. He didn't ride the bus. I did)
The school bus went right by this place when I was little and we always called it the haunted house. I can distinctly remember looking up the hill at its shabby splendor and wondering what it was like inside...and being a little afraid of its spookiness. I certainly never imagined I would live here one day.
Nita, I will do a search and see if I can find it. I really wish we could get an accurate building date for this one, but I don't even know where to start.
FC, what a nice way to think of it!
I missed seeing this one!! My grandparents had a pocket door between their dining room and living room and it had a latch like this one. Memories!!! :)
Dibear, my grandparents had them too, but I don't remember a key. I never paid any attention to these until my son noticed the patent. We have always looked for clues as to how old the house is, since we don't know.
