Most likely it was a single family split into a duplex. In any event you have a bunch of demo first, plans second.

I've wondered about that but I think it's always been a duplex. It has separate basements, shows up on maps around 1900 as being two addresses, and has transoms over the entrance doors. This area was very working class around that time and this would have been a large house and pretty crappy house for someone who could afford a house this big.

But yeah, just trying to get all my ducks in a row to make an informed decision on the demo.
