Village Doors


I remember being in London once and seeing this book on British doorways. Thus began my minor love affair with New York doorways. Photographed between King and Canal Streets....these doorways cover many different architectural styles....I find them curiously compelling. Hope you do too! (and I hope the CDP police don't bust me for multiple photos!)

Good that they posted that little note at the 2nd. door. I wouldn't have guessed!
Cheers, Klaus

I've seen one of the posters of London doorways, and I think you've captured the New York version beautifully.

A few more, and you could make (and sell?) your own Greenwich Village posters. ;)

(P.S. I, too, love "THE DOOR" sign above the blue door. :) )

I would have never given a second thought to a door... Great observation and really nice pics.

I've always loved photos of doorways (and windows), and these are interesting. LOL at "the doorway!" And the last one's misaligned panel (what the heck is it called?) is actually charming.

I've seen them in your Flickr stream. You are still hiding some good one from us! Is that DOOR door a club?

amazing pictures Ken....i believe doors are the most important part of a building specially a home...it gives a warm feeling when you see a nice welcoming door isn't it.

The Victorians felt it very important to insulate their houses against the cold.
