The Secret Annex
Looking at the building that contained the Secret Annex, it doesn't look like it housed two families for two years. The Secret Annex contained three floors. Floor one contained the kitchen and the entryway into the Annex. The entrance into this annex was a bookcase that swung open to reveal the kitchen, this served as the safegaurd incase they were discovered. On the second floor, one family lived and slept. The final floor contained the second family's living quarters.
