The Road to Preston

, , ,

Welcome to Thursday Doors! This is a weekly challenge for people who love doors and architecture to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos, drawings, or other images or stories from around the world. If you’d like to join us, simply create your own Thursday Doors post each (or any) week and then share a link to your post in the comments below, anytime between 12:01 am Thursday morning and Saturday noon (North American eastern time). If you like, you can add our badge to your post.

There is a town called Preston in Connecticut but it’s about 45 mi (72 km) from the Preston I was taking care of. That would be our daughter’s cat. One of the days that I was driving between our house and her apartment, the highway went kerflooey. That’s not hard for this highway to do, it’s been under construction since before Norm Frampton started Thursday Doors.

Preston’s Door

I got off the highway and took a back road to Preston – the cat, not the town. Along the way, I snapped a few photos when stopped at red lights, stop signs and behind cars that were not moving. What little information I have to share can be found in the captions.

That’s all I have for today. However, there will be a couple dozen links in the comment section that will lead you to doors around the world – really – around the world. Check them out.

Apartment buildings.
The Highlands – apartmnts
Another apartment building
Funeral parlor
We’ve seen this before,. This is the Katherine Day House, part of the Harriet Beecher Stowe complex.
St. John’s Episcopal Church
Sofia – is a nice place for coffee and ice cream
One of my favorite stores
Butterfly – a Chinese restaurant
Maybe apartments
Congregation Beth Israel
Congregation Beth Israel
Bruegger’s Bagels (and a corner door)
Farmhouse
Barns
Carousel Apartments

      From what I can gather, it’s a popular city/town name. We prefer the little fluff.

      Your photos are lovely, today, Teresa. What a beautiful place to gather to sketch and paint.

    Hi Dan – we have a town (now a city I see) called Preston in the north-west … presumably the first one?! I just wondered if the Carousel building was appropriately named … ? Much better to be off the highway … more interesting and probably safer – cheers Hilary

      I had the same thought about the Carousel building, Hilary. Some things will remain a mystery. Many of our towns and cities take their name from English towns. Our settlers wanted to break free, but then tried to establish England here.

    It makes me laugh when I see the names of British cities replicated in America – Preston in England is a Northern Industrial city with all the associations that conjures up. Your Preston is a little different. Some of those buildings are mostly quite austere and imposing, and others rather small and fragile looking. A nice selection.

    Those barns are a nice contrast to all else. And once again everything takes me back to the area where I grew up; I would feel at home there, I think. Those red Episcopalian doors are my favorites, but I sure would like to be invited to a chicken dinner in that farmhouse! (“Kerflooey” took me by surprise, and I can only say it was lucky for my keyboard that I’d already swallowed my coffee.)

      The first phrase that came to mind in that traffic wasn’t suitable for a family oriented blog, Maureen. I was hoping to have more like the farmhouse, but it seems to be a rogue holding among those that have sold out to commercial interests. I had to look up St. John’s on a map, but as soon as I saw it, I thought it had to be an Episcopal Church. They seem to have a look.

      I hope you have a great rest of the week.

    They sure make use of apartment buildings in Preston! In the first photo both those buildings are interesting. But what caught my eye is the heart in the window. St. John’s has an impressive entrance.

    Congregation Beth Israel is a quite the eye-catcher. Beautiful entry doors proclaim that there’s room for everyone. The roof is its crowning glory!

    But the barns Dan, they are the best.

      I always like churches, but I think I like barns better.

      I wish the photo of Congregation Beth Israel didn’t have a piece of construction equipment in front of it, but I guess you get what you can. That hardware store is an old time store. I used to work near there, and I shopped often. It had a squeaky wooden floor and some items for sale that dated to times long forgotten. The original owners must have sold it recently.

      I loved the doors you shared with us today.

    Those apartments in the first photo look almost like castles. So pretty. That little farmhouse is sweet, though. I love seeing a bunch of older men holding court at a cafe. You have to figure the coffee’s gotta be good. Down here, they tap their cup, wink at the waitress and call her honey. Free refills abound!

      When I worked in the area where that hardware store is, it had an old creaky wooden door that either slammed behind you or refused to close – you know, the way a hardware store door should behave. You could look at the clerk and say, “too bad you don’t have something to fix that with,” and he would grouse about having heard that 100 times that day. People don’t appreciate a good retail experience anymore.

      I’m enjoying your journey.

    Good doors Dan. We were replacing windows so everything has been in disarray the past few days. Worse I am contemplating replacing Windows and lord only knows how long that disarray will last. For the moment I will focus on the disarray in the garden and perhaps backing up important files…

      Between windows and Windows, John, I feel your pain. I’ve done both. I think I’d retreat to the garden, too.

    Greetings to Preston the cat. I like the red door the most, and the yellow machinery in front of the round church.

    My post is a day late due to general unhappiness on behalf of poor performance and horrible weather. I pulled myself together finally and here is the first part of Maribor doors. https://manjameximexcessive6.wordpress.com/2022/09/16/thursday-doors-15-9-22-maribor-1/#Maribor#Slovenia#oldestvine

      I was sorry to read about the weather and the fact that your dog was scared. I know what that’s like. There’s just no consoling them. Of course, you’re welcome here until noon Saturday, so you’re not late.

    Amazing how many apartment buildings (the red brick ones) were built in that style! But for me, the Jewish Temple stole the show.

      It is a beautiful house of worship, Frank. If you’ve been here over the course of the past month or so, you saw the temples that they left behind as the Jewish population moved west from Hartford. This is one of the temples they built to replace those.

    Thank goodness the road went kerflooey! Great doors, especially the red one on the church and the apartments that look like their top is a castle. I’ve often thought about Norm, and you are doing a great job!!

    Such a great collection, Dan (and I like Preston’s Door too, haha). So many time-honored, brown-toned buildings, which I love to see.

      So many of those buildings are around 100 years old. They held up well.
