This is why very old houses in Louisiana had no closets - your property tax was assessed on the basis of how many closets you had. Also, they liked spelling “armoire”.

In many places it was based on the number of windows, or on the width of the street facing façade… leading to odd styles of construction. It’s been a game of cat and mouse for quite some time.
