Stairs That Lead Straight Into The Solid Ceiling In Our Basement. If There Was An Opening, It Would Lead Right Under The Deck
Going to take a stab in the dark on this one. Those stairs most likely connected to outdoor storm shelter doors.On older homes that had basements there were ground level doors that gave access from outside the home. People called them storm shelters. Usually seen in places that have high tornado activity. We had a detached underground tornado shelter at our old house. Never used but it gave good piece of mind. We now live on the coast and don't have a storm shelter but plan on having one dug in this summer. Would rather have a basement but the ground here makes it hard to keep out water. Sorry I got off topic.

Definitely for firewood. But more specifically, for bringing wood in that isn't exactly dry yet so it can be near the heat to aid in quicker drying.
Ah. That makes sense, the drying bit

There may be vents leading from the fireplace to bring more heat to the room through these spaces
You seriously don't know what that's for? Wow! Just out of curiosity, where do you keep your firewood?
Weird thing is that it's a gas fireplace and always has been...lol
How old is the house? Is it possible that it was originally a wood burning fireplace that was later converted to gas? Because that hole is definitely for stacking real wood.

It was actually used to cook in but I can't remember how exactly. I'm from a town settled in 1626 and there are historic homes with these

Don't have a picture but I once lived in a bottom floor apartment. All the apartments were built from the same specs and each had a small balcony you could enter through a door from the kitchen/living area. They were new builds and had only viewed one of the show apartments. Our apartment had to door to the balcony but when you opened the door there was a brick wall!!!
Oh yeah! Roll outta bed and boom !!!! Drop 10 feet then rool rest of the way down the stairs! Good thinkin!!!
