Oh my gosh, I SOOO know what I would do with that spot! I'd spend the money on a beautiful piece of antique stained glass, and hang in that opening. (An old stained glass window still in the frame. I have three of them.) I'd put doors on the front of the existing cabinet, then paint and "shab" the cabinet to go with the stained glass and/or frame. I'd pull out my favorite color of the glass by using some type of cool textile on top of the cabinet to soften the edges a bit.... like a long, nubby ladies scarf, kinda bunched a bit here and there. I'd place a vintage lamp there to light the stained glass, and finish it off with two more vintage accessories relating to whatever is in the cabinet. Vintage sewing items if you store fabric there, or maybe old cameras if you keep dvd's there.
So, that's my 2 cents worth!

If the original house ended at that half wall it seems reasonable that the post could be load bearing. Your calling a structural engineer is an excellent idea & will give you the true answer. Please keep us posted! Don

"I was in the airport, jumping out of Chicago, Cavallari, 26, tells E! News in the next reality special about her nuptials. "We had just spent however many days together and we were texting and somehow it came up, choose, 'Oh, shall we get married?' would like like, 'Yeah, alright.'"
The couple were first engaged in 2011 but split up briefly before reconciling that same year. on the other hand, Cutler faced self deprecation over what many saw as a too casual digital proposal.
