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.

The badge contest ended in a tie, so I will be alternating the badge I use here, but you are welcome to use either of the winning badges.

Our temperatures snapped back into the deep freeze on Sunday, and sat there for a couple days. Monday morning, when I normally walk, it was 8°f (-13°c). I’m writing this on Tuesday, and while I might get out to get some new doors, I need to get my Thursday Doors post ready so I can publish the link to it in my One-Liner Wednesday post. Yes, I could do the TD-mm/dd/yyyy thing but I could also number the chapters in my books instead of giving them a name — not how I roll.

So, I have a few more doors taken as I was out running errands.

I hope you enjoy the gallery, and I hope you will visit the other people posting door photos and collections of door photos — some of them are brilliant!

The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99.

    Some great doors Dan for when you’re just running errands. I have never heard of a coffin door but I like the look of it and the red building is great.

      Thanks Wayne. There are several historic districts around here. I’ve featured most, but I think these are new photos. The “coffin door” is the narrow door on the side of a house where the front door opens to a central staircase. There wasn’t enough room to turn a coffin into the parlor (there weren’t funeral homes yet). The coffin door was usually two doors (inner and outer). The inner door would be removed and set across supports to form a table to hold the coffin.

      I loved your doors this week!

    I find those coffin doors intriguing and I do love yellow houses. I believe the first farm house we lived in until I was ten, was yellow. All the photos are in black and white so I have no proof.

      Driving through any historic district around here, one will see one or two coffin doors. I think some are more visible in the winter when there are no leaves. I’ll go with your memory of your house. Yellow doesn’t seem to be a popular color today, but those choices cycle, maybe it will come back in style.

      I really liked your doors (and roofs) today.

    Love these doors today, not to mention the buildings they are in! That first ‘little’ yellow house is a beauty, but I wouldn’t call that house ‘little’!

    The ‘coffin doors’ were quite practical back then and certainly served an important purpose.

    I really like that band of windows separating the two roofs. Kinda like the icing on the cake!

    Good looking firehouse with its bright white doors, behind which are the trucks, equipment, men and women who save our lives and homes and businesses in a fire.

    Impressive church, especially in such cramped quarters. Great arched windows!

    You managed to create an interesting gallery Dan, and complete errands at the same time!

      I’m glad you liked these, Ginger. Yellow houses, fire stations and coffin doors are always sure to make me stop for a picture.

      Maybe when it warms up, I’ll go back to see if I can get a better picture of that church. I think I’d have to step into someone’s yard to get the whole thing in the frame.

      I’m optimistic about getting some doors from a new area for next week. I have to take my car for service and I hope to find something around there that I haven’t already captured.

      I hope you have a great weekend.

    The house with the two roof layers is distinct, but will admit that my first thought when I saw it was how expensive it’d be to repair that second layer if it started to leak. I’ve been a homeowner for a long time now, that’s how my mind works.

    I can still feel the cold in your photos. The houses seem so big to me; I guess I’m too used to apartment living. I like them, but I can’t imagine occupying them unless I had several generations of family living there with me. I’m sure that was their original use.

    I also have some sacred spaces, which always attract my attention, in my post today. (K)

      I’m pasting this in for anyone who asks. I should have included this in the post.

      The “coffin door” is the narrow door on the side of a house where the front door opens to a central staircase. There wasn’t enough room to turn a coffin into the parlor (there weren’t funeral homes yet). The coffin door was usually two doors (inner and outer). The inner door would be removed and set across supports to form a table to hold the coffin.

      I love the image you shared.

    Stunning shots of buildings with superb architecture. Why would I expect anything less. I am in the French alps and have been bathed in warm sunshine all week. Snow is holding out though.

    Excellent gallery, Dan. I enjoyed the shadows you captured with the bare branches punctuating the sunlight on most of the buildings. I love the red house with the “coffin” door. You have featured this type of door before, and I am fascinated by the whole thought process that went into such a construction!

    I also loved the church on the narrow street. Great job photographing it!

    The barn upscaled into a shop is wonderful. It has a new barn style to it… and I like it.

    Great share as always, Dan. I also enjoyed your capture of the sky, and some of the frontage on the buildings which adds a great scenic travel-along feel, which I think you have mastered. Cheers.

      Thanks Suzette. I’m glad you like these. I do enjoy seeing the shadows from the trees.

      I need to back at some point and try to get a better picture of that church.

      The front of the barn has been modified and no longer looks like a bar at all. I’d rather it remained barn-like.

      Thanks for dropping by and for your wonderful post today.

    Churches are hard to fit into a picture – even harder on a narrow street. I think it’s a fabulous picture. The information about the coffin door is eye-opening for me. What a lot of work – to take off the inner door to set up the coffin. Hopefully not too many people died in one household that there was a need to do it often. Yet, why would they even think about putting one in unless it was in common use? Your posts are so historic in such a natural way – the sharing of doors. :) Thanks for hosting, Dan.

    Would be interesting to see the view from inside those frieze windows. And I suppose those are not an afterthought to the home, but carefully planned out. And that is a substantial neighborhood church to find on a narrow street. Great post! Stay warm!!

      Thanks! I’d love to see that view as well. There is a house like that at Old Sturbridge Village. The house has been open for tours, but the upper level was roped off.

      The church is in what once was a thriving mill town. It’s on the banks of a major tributary to the Connecticut River, and early in the Industrial Revolution, the mills in town were humming.

    Those are all such beautiful buildings, Dan. So New England! We don’t have many old farmhouses here, and the Victorian and Federalist homes are in the seaports. The “coffin” doors are intriguing. Great photos. And I hope you’ve warmed up some!

      I’m not sure that’s official, Jennie. When I searched on the term I got examples of windows in that space, but not wrap-around. I’ve seen them in a lot f historic districts around New England.
