Entryway Update - Is this wall load bearing?

Lynn
last year

Hello,

I’m in a bit of a pickle. Love this old house, but our entryway is just so teeny. Even for 4 of us coming in at once, there’s absolutely no space for us to remove shoes and coats, and such. I would like to take down the coat closet wall and make it more open, with a custom built shelf system against the wall where the coats are.

Idk where to begin with seeing if the wall is load bearing. An engineer? A licensed contractor? I’m ready to take it down pronto and make it more open.

Please don’t mind the looks. I’ve been swatching paint samples for our dining and living room refresh. 😅
