Trying to figure out what this weird angled box is on the ceiling/wall
I bought a house a few years back, and never could figure out what this is. Its kind of been an eye sore in our dining room but I have no idea what it is. There isn't pipe on the roof in the location, and nothing in the michigan dirt basement goes upwards to it. The home was built in 1915 but wondering if it'd be a good idea to cut into it. Would hate to cut into it, and it be something important. Anybody have any ideas, or seen anything like this before? Thanks.
