The first 2 doors are from mansions on the north side of Chicago. These are from homes built during the “guided age” and did not make it in an earlier post.
The third door is built into the scrim for the play “Fiddler On The Roof” at the Lyric Opera House in Chicago. This door was used to introduce some of the characters and some of the props.
The flowers in my little town get changed periodically and they have brought in more fall type for now.
These plants I encountered today along my walk.
Had a discussion recently about who had better Lions, Chicago or another city. While walking in the Wicker Park area I came across 2 homes with lions guarding the front. One looks like it was an original part of the home, the second seems to be added at a later date.
I have also included a couple of lions from last weeks doors (just the lions) and it looks like the same situation. One is much older than the other. Can’t leave out our lions in front of the Art Institute of Chicago.
We have had a fair amount of rain lately, so these are from inside and outside.
Old Town is an area on the North side of Chicago. It is famous for many reasons but just one is Second City, the comedy club. There are far too many famous people who got their start here to list and it is still doing the same for comedians today.
The area has many beautiful old houses and was originally an area where German immigrants settled. It also became a hip or rather a hippie type area with cute shops and old dark bars. It is still thriving today and has changed some of the old for the new but still a vibrant eating and shopping area.
I did find some lovely old homes and a few doors to share.
This was from a portion of only one block. I really liked the two doors that mirrored the porch covering. Some of the space has been replaced with large new apartment buildings but there is also a lot of charm. Definitely worth a stop on your next visit to Chicago.
These are not specialty flowers, they just brought a smile to my face when I walked into the backyard today.
These doors are from the city center area of Portland, Maine. The 3rd door is from the house of Longfellow which is next to the Museum. Fun day spent in Maine so I could add it to my list of states visited. Only 3 left on the bucket list.
