Saturday: some interesting doors

Good morning, and have a good weekend :)

Today I will share a few doors I have seen on walks in the area recently; it sort of goes with a series I did a while back in NYC. Distinctive doors, mind you, perhaps the first one falls into a different category. Well, it sure catches one's eye, so perhaps that does make it distinctive.

This first one, the red door, first catches one's attention; then you notice the lions and all the signs, not making any political statement one way or the other about the signs, just sharing it as it caught my eye

This next one I went with a black and white edit to highlight the cool details which a color edit didn't show so well

It's an interesting property famously known as Captain Haskell's Octagon House (or the Haskell-Hastings House), situated at the northwest corner of Union and Cottage streets.

It was built between 1847 and 1848 by housewright John Vinal for Captain Fordyce Dennis Haskell, master of the New Bedford whaling ship Mercury, and his wife Sylvia. While initially constructed as a distinct octagon-style house, the property received extensive architectural embellishments, bays, and the grand, classical entry porch seen here during the 1860s under its next owner, whale oil merchant John Hastings

Someone had asked me to get a photo of it, but it is surrounded by trees and almost impossible to get a photo of the full house, but I liked this one.

Now I forget where I saw this one, but it looks like such a grand entrance to me

This one i think, was on Hawthorn Street. I know the color of the door may not be to everyone's taste, but I quite liked it myself

And that’s all folks

unless stated otherwise all photos used in my posts are taken and owned by myself, if you wish to use any of my images please contact me.
