If you’ve ever explored a historic home, you might have noticed peculiar high cabinets tucked away, often above doorways or high on walls. While they may seem odd today, these cabinets were once practical and even profitable in their time.
The Purpose of High Cabinets
Seasonal Storage

Extra winter blankets
Thick comforters
Holiday decorations
By placing these rarely used items out of reach, homeowners could free up accessible storage for everyday necessities.
