The house I grew up in, the Methodist Parsonage in Wayne, PA, built around 1910, had one of those out side entrances to the cellar, too, along with a stairway down from the kitchen. The sides were stone, like the first floor of the house (the second floor was wood shingles,) and the doors were wood, with a wood 2x6 that sat in two "U"-channels "barring the doors" and keeping them secure from unauthorized entry from the outside.
