I know I say this a lot but… this is one of my new favorites.

The combination of these three features makes this one of the best decorated doors in the city. It’s from the The Henley Park Hotel located at 926 Massachusetts Ave NW.
Could be the only door sculpture I’ve seen with glasses:

I think I’ve finally figured out the style of the ones that are really old school. I’m guessing these are at least 80/90 years old. Makes them even cooler.
From 15th St, NW south of U St.
A more subtle example but still pretty sweet.
I love that Shaw’s French Street has its own Christmas tree. Sadly, this year, I came a little too late to see it in action. Fortunately I was able to get some sweet super old school stained glass:
This is from Biltmore St, NW that many folks were fond of last week.
This is def. one of the more unusual (but equally cool) transoms I’ve seen in DC.
I can’t tell you how happy it makes me when people make fun of me for posting doors, windows and transoms and then when I don’t post them for a week or so, I get emails asking to post them! Those emails, truly and genuinely make my day. It reminds me I’m not crazy, well I might be crazy but it reminds me I’m not alone…
