Thursday Doors is a weekly blog event hosted by Norm 2.0. For my entry this week, I’m concentrating on details.
First glance of this delapidated building on Main Street in Sedalia, Missouri is not something to really write home about.
But when looking closer, there’s a half post missing that would give this door more symmetry. And that’s just the beginning. What about the little hand carved diamond detail on the remaining post? Too bad about the trim hanging by a thread. Not to mention the warping an peeling paint. Guess this one’s got a lot of tales to tell.
And the unusual shape of this transom window is something the original builder must have wanted to give a little charm to. You can see just where to begin scraping paint if you wanted to tidy it up a bit. I think it’s a beauty. I sure hope someone in this town realizes what treasures we have before tearing them all down. I hope it’s not too late for this one.
It almost looks like they custom made the entrance and door to fit the opening they had between the two buildings. Very interesting find 🙂

I think there is a story here we’d all enjoying hearing if only that door could whisper it to us. 🙂

I little TLC and I think that could become a remarkable little entrance. The details are there, they just need to be cleaned up and presented better. Very nice find.

The need to revitalize our historic downtown is hopefully recognized. I have so much more I could show. Might in the future if I don’t upset too many people lol

We tore our downtown area down in the 1960s to make room for “urban renewal” that never came. There still really is no downtown in our town 😦

I love taking photos of old doors and windows. Took a lot during our two years of living in Cuenca, Ecuador.

A cute building – yes, I wondered what happened to the right pillar:):) The door looks narrower than I am used to (for this side of the ocean!)
Thanks for visiting me. Today we had our first sun for a few hours – it’s like I’m coming alive! Hope your sun will come soon!
