WHAT DOES DUTCH DOOR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Dutch door

Dutch door

A Dutch door, or stable door, or half door, is a door divided horizontally in such a fashion that the bottom half may remain shut while the top half opens. Known in early New England as a double-hung door. The initial purpose of this door was to keep animals out of farmhouses, or keep children inside, while allowing light and air to filter through the open top. And when the top half was open they also allowed the breeze, but stopped the wind from blowing street and lawn dirt into the house. This type of door was common in the Netherlands in the seventeenth century and appears in Dutch paintings of the period. They were also commonly found in the Dutch cultural areas of New York and New Jersey before the American Revolution. Woman at a Dutch Door, 1645, by Samuel van Hoogstraten Dutch doors are often used in North-American passenger train cars to allow crewmen to interact safely with other employees not aboard their trains without risking falling from the train. Recent operating rules changes in Canada have rendered the Dutch-doors obsolete, although older rolling stock retains the doors.
