When I was touring the Suffield, CT Historic District, I stumbled onto and interesting fact – there are two historic districts. I’ve been through other towns that have historic homes outside of the established historic district, but I’ve never seen a town that has multiple districts. As I toured the second district, I snapped a... Continue Reading →
I have run through most of the doors from my doorscursion into Suffield, CT. I still have lots of locations left, but I don’t know much about them. So, I give you a gallery of interesting looking buildings and doors that I wish I new more about. What I do know is in the captions.... Continue Reading →
If you have been following this blog for any amount of time, you knew this post was coming. You know that I couldn’t spend time walking around a wonderful place like Old Sturbridge Village without taking pictures of doors. In fact, if you’ve been following No Facilities for a long time, you know that I’ve... Continue Reading →
I had another week that was pretty busy. I managed to get out to gather more door photographs, but I still haven’t found time to sit down and do the research I want to do. If you’re wondering why that matters, read on. If you can live without that explanation, skip to the gallery. Wait,... Continue Reading →
The Suffield Connecticut Historic District was the subject of my first doorscursion in over 10 weeks. Last week, I shared a few doors from the south end of the district and a couple of farms that are located outside the district. This historic district is a bit unusual for a couple of reasons. First, it... Continue Reading →
A couple years ago, I featured doors from the Montgomery Mill complex. At that time, a developer was making plans to purchase, restore and repurpose the former “Decorative and Electrical Tinsel” plant into apartments. The complex is located on the industrial island between the Windsor Locks Canal and the Connecticut River – a challenging place... Continue Reading →
Today is going to be a very long and very busy day. I decided to share a door photo that my good friend Brad Lewis passed along to me on Facebook. My regular readers will understand the appeal of this door. If you’re new to No Facilities, I’ll explain. We have had Irish Setters for... Continue Reading →
As I was walking around Concord, Massachusetts last month, I did what most Thursday Doors participants do, I took pictures of doors. Every door I noticed. I figured that, as has often been the case, I would be able to fill in the blanks later. I already knew that my favorite source for history and... Continue Reading →
Last month, that is to say, February (now that we’re on April’s doorstep) I shared some doors from the historic Battle Green (Commons) in Lexington, Ma. I mentioned that both Lexington and neighboring Concord lay claim to firing the first shot, winning the first battle, burying the first casualties in the Revolutionary War. I wasn’t...

Perhaps that should include “Part-II” since I think I’ve posted doors from Burlington, MA before, but who’s counting? The meetings I attended the week I captured the Lexington doors were held in the Burlington Marriott. The rationale for that, in case you’re interested, is that they give us the easiest option to handle price. We... Continue Reading →
