#ThursdayDoors — The American Legion

Posted on November 17, 2016 by joey

I took some of these at night, in passing.

Then another day, I walked by in the daylight…

There are many sets, I think six, but I wouldn’t swear to it.

Definitely better in the daylight, and the front set is definitely prettiest.

    Now those are doors. When they are freshly polished they are a sight to see.

    I actually like the patina on the doors. It adds to the character.

    Very nice indeed. Those sure are impressive. A lot of time I find knockers like that are overkill, but on these doors they fit right in.
    Nice find and I admire your dedication to the cause by going back at various times of day to get the best shot 🙂

    Very impressive doors. I’m pretty sure you could hear those knockers throughout the building. They look big enough to tie a boat off to.

    I love the grand and solid feel! And for some reason – the knockers reminded me of Scrooge and his door – maybe it is beside xmas is coming and I just saw a sign for the play!

    Now I have a line from Young Frankenstein going through my mind. Those are some heavy duty doors.

    Those doors look kind of mean to me. I’d be hesitant to pass through them! But great photos, nonetheless.

    Very impressive set of doors … but the wow for me was in the last 2 photos showing the signage above the door. That really added grativas to the door!

    I always wanted lion door knockers… maybe if I ever find myself with a door like those ;). Very stately.

    Those doors are such a great find. All the ironwork, studs and door-knockers, they are just so attractive!

    Those door knockers are great, Joey. I’d say “Great knockers” but you might get the wrong idea. 🙂

    I liked the bold and masculine way those doors are built. They suit the buikding and the knockers make me think of a mansion or as someone else mentioned, “Young Frankenstein.”
    I liked the marble scrolling above the framework of the door and the brass sign celebrating Indiana’s American Legion.
    Joey, you did an outstanding job in photographing these! 🙂

    Wow! I’m impressed! I love all the white stone with the dark, heavy doors set in them. When they’re polished, are they dark bronze or bright copper, do you know? Either way, the whole effect is magnificent!
