Thus, the unusual set-up on the other side of living space for people, entering through a room that is the laundry area, then into a bathroom & lastly a bed area.
Those last 2 were converted to what is there now in more modern times with the idea that they could be used in its current fashion, or as a quick in or out for those with a recreational vehicle when one gets in late and doesn't want to go up and set up at the main house. This way, one would have a quick & easy place to sleep after a late arrival, or to be ready for an early departure.
