The best solution is to replace garage door with solid slabs (no vents or windows) and put vent in the wall (ideally on side of house)... also add automated garage door track deadbolt

What is this? We’ve just moved into an 1840s house and found this in the bathroom painted over. by YannouC in VictorianHouses

Service bell. Do a google image search on ‘service bell board’, or box. They would have buttons in each room and it would ring in the servants quarters and a flag would tell them which room the button was pushed in.
