Using the word weathered almost seems like an insult. This door has seen some shit, hm? Y’all know I love old things, and this door is no exception.
Check out the tiny doorknob, and where it’s placed. Look how narrow.
Instead of me telling you about the door, I find I have a lot of questions about it.
How old is it?
Was it made with glass here and wood there, or were all those cut-outs once glass?
What little dog scratched at the door? Or how many?
When were kickplates invented?
Anyway, I love her. I love the whole house. I’m glad she’s been reclaimed and is on to better days.

Yup, I loves me some old weathered doors and this one has no doubt seen a lot. Thanks for sharing it 🙂

That’s a survivor. I love it. I’m going to guess that this is the way it was made, glass in that one long panel only. that’s just a guess, not based on any secret knowledge. Great find, and great questions.

Love this one, Joey, beaten and bowed but still standing tall. Laughed at the ‘security’ sign in the ground; I doubt this house would be on a robber’s list. Also curious about the signs in the window – are they construction notices? Is that how you figured out the house is being fixed up?

Yeah, I love this door 🙂 (of course!) This house is in a prominent neighborhood, only a few doors away from last week’s find, so yeah, the whole area’s on the robber’s list, and they’re all sporting security signs 🙂 Lots of old beauty, and still some diamonds in the rough. They’re expensive even when they’re trashed and vacant, because of location and hard-to-find original details, so you still see some in need of love. I think this is one of them.
I don’t know about the signs in the windows. I didn’t walk up and look at the time. I wondered if it had to do with the new windows. *adds your question to the list*

I think someone got so angry about the tiny, low doorknob and punched a hole through the wood to get in, resulting in the addition of glass to the door.

Great character in that old building. Glad it’s being reclaimed, you’ll have to post a photo of it when the job’s completed.

It looks like it has had its trim painted fairly recently so, yes, it must be on a road to revival. 🙂 Now – how do they get the sofas and the king sized mattresses in? I’m thinking upstairs window and rope.

What this door shouts out to me is: “Character!” Age, weathering and pieces of different mismatched details makes me smile. Joey, it also seems that your word, “Original” definitely applies! 🙂

That door has character aplenty. I see that the person ahead of me said this already, but as I thought it the instant I saw the door and before I read her comment, I shall stick with it. 🙂

It is a narrow door but I wonder if the large rectangle and small squares to the right of the rectangle would have been glass or stained glass.

Right? I wonder the same. I’m not sure it’s noticeable, but four of those are small windows, although plain. I wish the door would tell us its story.

Yes, it did not show too well to me. But I suspected they would have been windows. It would be pretty with stained or beveled glass.
