You are quite wise.
The prior owner was a strange, strange man. The house, which he also built, is made almost entirely of rebarred concrete block. Not many windows pre-rehab. And there was a "picture window" out front that looked suspiciously like a firing port, with excellent lines of sight to each end of the street...
I guess he took "a man's home is his castle" to include defending that castle from the Soviets.
