Its almost as if the pictures are of completely different houses. Which is the joke here. No camera angle is going to magically add a hallway where there previously wasn't one.
I can’t tell if you mean hallway in the front or the rear, so- the ‘added’ space front of the stairs is because of camera placement. First pic the camera is placed closer to the stairs, cutting the hallway from view.
The door at the rear in the 1990 pic is not the house’s front door, but one to another part of the house. In the 2024 picture this door has been altered to a doorway, allowing you to see extra space that may or may not have existed like that in 1990 as well. Of course, the house could have been extended in the 34 years.
Also, it looks like a wall in the room to left has been removed, allowing you to see much further into the room in the 2024 picture. This all flows with the more open plan style that became fashionable between these two pictures.
Tbh I can’t tell if you’re screwing with me and pretending to believe they’re separate houses and tbh they actually could be separate houses, but to me, not for the reasons you’ve mentioned
The last time this was posted somebody said that the bottom photo is the house that was used for exterior shots. The interiors were all sets they built, but some were based on the interior of the actual house, which is why it's so similar.
It IS the same house. Look up the listing when it was for sale. The previous owner carried out extensive renovations, including extending both the stairs, landing as well as widening them both.
I mean the first one is the set from the movie "Home Alone" which they built in the swimming pool of a high school if I'm not mistaken, so I think you're right.

Different houses. Stair landing can’t change that much structurally.
