Does anyone know what this is? It is over the basement door in our 1890’s home.
Thanks, for the good and entertaining ideas!
I was able to pull the dome off and it looks like it is for a tiny bulb!
HERE ARE SOME OF THE PEOPLE’S OPINION ON IT:

Maybe a light to let you know that the basement lights are on.

I’m going to guess a small light to illuminate the other socket for nighttime operations.

It’s called a pilot light to let you know the outlet is hot. According to my hubs it had a lightbulb in it.

Pretty sure it’s an electrical outlet. It’s been painted over so it’s hard to tell but the trick is you can still see the two holes where the prongs go.
