Is this load bearing?
I know this is almost an impossible question to answer without inspecting the wall however, based on this picture, does this appear to be load bearing? I want to remove the wall marked in the red. I tend to think that it is not because it looks like a built out closet.

In all probability the red lines are not load bearing. The black line is. What type header is there over the bedroom closet door? There should be a corresponding bearing beam or wall below as well to carry the weight to footing.

This is a bungalow type house. Bed room upstairs the entire length of house. There is not a corresponding wall in the basement but I have not inspected enough to see if there is a beam. If I find a beam, I assume the load bearing wall should be directly above it? Is it possible that both walls are load bearing?
