I think you may have the only home with them here in the district. Your eastlake hinges, I think are not the original hinges they would be out of period for your home. As far a age, I think closer to 1914 than 1940 and your front room may have been a porch when new. Maybe a 1940 date was the last major refit to the home, and that's were the discrepancy is.
I am adding the picture of the porch. It is still a porch! Just an enclosed one. But I also wondered if it was added later, as the brick on the front of the house and the brick on the porch part are different...but the brick on the porch are the same as at the back of the house, there is also a doorbell on both the outside and interior door, but the doors are almost identical in style.
If it is "newer" I still like it, don't know if the columns came when it was new or are original, but I love those, and the enclosed porch probably saved those lovely windows from replacement! So go porch, go!
About half the house is this orange and purple brick combo. The front porch and sides are just red.
So many mysteries!
