The first door has that very interesting centre post with what looks like a small statue at the top. I’ve never seen anything quite like it before.
Then the 5th one down #21 also have that curled centre post – such an unusual detail. Love the big circular window with the sunburst … and what about those little “doorways” that flank the stairs. What the ….?
I noticed the door following #21 also has a “doorway” at the bottom, but it seems to more obviously be a scraper to clean the mud from boots and the ‘doorway’ is really just an indentation. Am I right in this? I’ve noticed these unusual little ‘doorways’ in the photos of some other bloggers before and never knew what they were.
Yes, those doors are really awesome. The old one especially. As for that “doorway” on the last door, I don’t really know what it’s for. Your guess of it being a scraper for muddy boots makes sense. I wish there were guided tours focusing on architecture and design of those houses and theirs fabulous doors.
Ooh these are nice. #21 despite the wear and tear has so many terrific details to it.
Yes, it has lots of character.
Oh my – I don’t even know quite where to start.
