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.

I shared a post several weeks ago about the trip my brother and I took to our mother’s parents’ summer vacation spot, Geneva on the Lake, Ohio. It’s a little village on Lake Erie. We each spent portions of 14-16 summers there. For the most part, we joined our grandparents for two weeks. Our accommodations grew more comfortable as time moved on. In the early years, our cottage had a kitchen, but not a bathroom — there were community Men’s and Ladie’s showers and facilities. By the time I was seven or eight years old, we had upgraded to a cottage with a bathroom. Later still, we moved to a different rental area where the cottage was more like a complete home.

Each year, as we approached the city of Geneva, things became familiar. Once in Geneva, we felt at home. Geneva was the town we shopped in after we got settled. It was about half an hour from there to Geneva on the Lake. I will add that, as I made that trip, I never imagined taking photos and then sharing them with people across the world as easily as I’ve uploaded this post.

Enough reminiscing. Today’s gallery contains another group of drive-by doors, complete with the occasional utility pole. I don’t know much about the buildings, but I like them. I hope you do, too. I also hope you have a change to explore some of the doors by the other participants. If you can’t visit them today, check out my post on Sunday where all of the Doors posts will be organized in a table for easy access.

  1. It does look like a lovely place to spend Summer. I like that garage too Dan

    1. When we were going there, it was a very popular spot for working families. The place we stayed first had about 60 cottages, and a huge campground with families in everything from small tents to trailers. Some trailers had tents attached like outside rooms or just other rooms. It was fun to walk around and see and visit. Today, the area has been developed and is home to condominium projects. It’s a little sad.

      1. More than sad Dan. I used to go on camps with Scouts to great places like that which are now reserved for the more affluent or as you say developed into big houses. We don’t have many big apartment style building on coastlines thank fully just in major urban areas like the Gold Coast

    1. I do like the odd shapes and the streets that don’t meet at 90-degree angles, Frank. It feels a little like the way Pittsburgh does (without the rivers). I really like the idea of building in a way that takes advantage of what you have vs. rearranging things to suit your design.

  7. I liked the building in image 3 and the last image. I love that stone architecture. Back in late 90s, I had a bicycle accident where I was speeding downhill (30 mph) and my brakes snapped. A car appeared out of one of the gates. To avoid that I maneuvred through the gap between a fort wall (which had this kind of stone texture), but the space was too narrow. The fort wall scrapped my left shoulder and my face hit the iron street lamp post. The bicycle from under me went ahead but I fell right near the post. The car took off, I laid there injured for 30 minutes because it was a Sunday morning. Luckily, a snow cone vendor was passing by. He offered me shaved ice wrapped it in my handkerchief and he went his way. My bicycle was badly damaged. I had no money for transport so I walked all the way to my home with a broken nose, a bloody shoulder and a broken bicycle. If you click this link, you will see the exact spot where it happened. You’ll see the gate on the right and the wall on the left, the street light post is missing though. Probably they’ve removed it or so. https://www.google.com/maps/place/F+Block,+Central+Goverment+accomodation/@18.9561676,72.800416,3a,75y,273.07h,89.22t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1seK2vk2Ac7ayX74SRLTXteQ!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D0.7846678492724948%26panoid%3DeK2vk2Ac7ayX74SRLTXteQ%26yaw%3D273.07475281430646!7i13312!8i6656!4m15!1m7!3m6!1s0x3be7cde495bdaf89:0xa6fab6d7a550d19a!2sPdp!8m2!3d18.9572708!4d72.798899!16s%2Fg%2F11h7rqymsp!3m6!1s0x3be7cd72cae61f99:0xa2cad52195a4b83d!8m2!3d18.9569645!4d72.8001067!10e5!16s%2Fg%2F11rqj2km9k?coh=205410&entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTAyOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

The photo of the cottagey house with all the greenery around it looks especially good right now. I think you have mastered the drive-by!

    1. Yes, that building in in three photos (also the close-up next to the last photo). I didn’t remove the wires. The lights are hanging from poles with very long arms. I think if they were alive today, my grandparents would not be able to afford to be within walking distance of the lake. My brother is very accommodating of a passenger photographer. He’ll slow down when asked. He’ll even turn around, or park and let me out if necessary.

  19. Hi Dan, I am sure your story of your holidays is a common one. People become ‘wealthier’ as they grow older and take higher positions at work or become more established in their businesses. Also debt gets paid down freeing up more cash for other things. The funeral home buildings would not be readily identified by me. I can’t say I’ve ever seen one here.

      Funeral homes are where the dead are laid out (in casket) for viewing by family and friends. The people who operate the homes prepare the bodies (or arrange cremation) and also usually make the burial arrangements. They also take care of certain legal obligations such as filing necessary paperwork with the government.

    1. If you link to my current week’s post, your link gets included in the recap. The recap generates a good number of visits across the group. It’s mostly an automated function.

      We are very liberal in our definition of doors. I don’t recall Norm every rejecting a doors, and I know I haven’t. And posts can include other photos. After all, doors open onto/into other things.

  46. My favorite photos in this group for their architecture are the three funeral homes. I assume at one point there were single family homes?

    1. That would be my guess, Liz. They are beautiful homes, and I’m gad to see them being maintained.

      1. I know what you mean. I hate to see a grand old house fall into neglect and disrepair.

  47. My husband grew up in Ashtabula, so this area is very familiar to him and familiar to me as well. Thanks for the dip back into the past.

    1. Wow, that’s a close connection. Every year, we would drive to Ashtabula one day for shopping and a nice lunch.

  49. It’s great to have those places from our past to revisit! We rednecks call it ‘Sodie’. Grape was the favorite. lol

    1. Thanks. It is good to be able to go back and visit. Grape and cherry soda always sounded better than pop. Sodie works, too.

  51. A very nostalgic post, Dan. I wonder, as a young boy, were you bothered by the fact that you had to go outside of your cottage for the bathroom? Or did it seem like an adventure? As kids these types of situations weren’t as big a deal as it was to the adults. Today, a hard pass on no bathroom!

    1. It’s funny you ask, it did seem like an adventure. Lots of times, I would walk through the campgrounds to a different bathroom. I think I tried them all. It’s funny to think back on the fact that I’d be gone for a long time and it didn’t cause my mother to worry. We all felt safe there.

  53. It’s such a charming place, Dan. I enjoyed this (and the others) post. The funeral home is so pretty. What made you immediately sure that’s what it was? Anyhow, thanks for the tour.

    1. Thanks Teagan. I’m glad you enjoyed the tour. All of the funeral homes had signs, but they were close to the road, so to include them would have left the building far in the back.

      I love phone booths, and I enjoyed your post.

  57. Wonderful memories for you and your brother, Dan. I do like the blue funeral homes and the corner building and the orange building at the entrance to the city. A charming looking place.
