- Welcome to our brand new web series, "My New Old House!" Many new homeowners may not own a new home at all, but an old one, full of historic character and charm! And sometimes, you may not know what all the strange, old, odds and ends in that home are. This new series will take a look at such historic features, beginning with the laundry chute!

I have a house built in 1910. This is helping me learn more about my home, thank you!
"Ranch" style homes built in the early 1960's in St. Cloud still have laundry shoots-going to the basement. :)
There are 2 tiny doors with hinges in the attic of a 1870s house that is now apartments. I have applied to live in the studio apartment at the very top (aka the attic).
These little doors are about the size of a bowling ball and are about 1-2 feet above the ground.
Is this a laundry chute or a very small “dumbwaiter” or something else?
The chimney is visible, but is not near these little doors.
There is no fireplace on that level either.
I don’t understand why there would be a laundry chute in what was once just an attic and probably just used for storage originally.
I grew up in a Century-home, circa 1895. It was two stories and basement laundry room. It had an original laundry chute which as a kid, totally fascinated me. I would definitely have one today if I built a new home.
A+ video!
Very helpful, thank you for making the video.
Have a laundry chitin my old house. Will be amazing to find a lift to pull the laundry.
Loose the music!
