Stop in for a cup of coffee

"where did that rent money go!"
Not far, that cabinet hung there for another 50 years until we took it down as part of the renovation. I figured the person either died or was jailed and never came back. I suspect they used that spot as a money keep for as long as they lived there. It was intentional pryed out on the side closest to the window so that it was hard to see. We could see wear on the inside behind the back panel that suggested this was an often used stash place, not just a one-off hiding spot.
