My naughty cupboard-
This cupboard was originally thought to be a prohibition cupboard. Our house was build in 1925, the term Prohibition refers to the period from 1920 to 1933, during which the sale, manufacture, and transportation of alcohol for consumption were banned nationally as mandated in the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Prohibition of alcohol can also refer to the antecedent religious and political temperance movements calling for sumptuary laws to end or encumber alcohol use. It is a funny little cupboard on the first landing of our staircase. We currently use it to store board games. So the only naughty thing you could do would be to spell a bad word using "scrabble." It is funny to think of someone using it as their “naughty” cupboard, stashing “bootlegged” alcohol.
Thanks for taking a peek at my pad……………………………..

That's so funny that you and Mark & Heather all have a prohibition "room" :) I used to think Prohibition meant that's where they kept the slaves. Yeah, I know, I always was bad at history in school :)
Oh man, I love those little extra surprise spaces and trap doors... and how fun to imagine what may have been kept in there back in the day!
See that's what I love about older houses, you get all the interesting nooks and crannies - I wish I had an old aunt with a big Victorian house to explore in for that very reason!
