Kinda narrow for an exterior door and is that a interior passage knobset?

I see there is a safety pin bolt at the bottom of the door that will prevent the door from opening from the interior and only accessible from outside.
What in the bejessus did they have in mind for a design of such?
Aesthetically, it looks like crap.
Did you find out why Jeff?
Curious.

Actually, I was in Pasadena this afternoon. The house was built in 1898 and the entire second story was an add-on.

The home still has its original rock & mortar foundation - I'm surprised it's still standing.

At least the door opened inward

I hate SFV with their 10" crawlspaces, but I'm there several times each week. I'm in Woodland Hills now, waiting for my 5:30 appointment. No crawlspace on this one. Home was built in 2000.

Well, I put my glasses on and could see that what I thought was a bolt pin at the bottom of the door looks like the door stile coming unglued.
I also saw a hole in the siding and a dangling wire. What is tht about?
