My parents 1st house, built in the early 1900's, had a milk box. This was basically a window big enough for a gallon of milk and maybe eggs. There was a small, not too thick wooden door on both inside and outside.
On a few occasions, when we all left the house without a key and since I was a small skinny kid, it was me who was always hoisted up to crawl in to the house via the milk box and open the door.

Gee, I could have grown up to be a cat burglar!
