I’m positive I’ve shown this one before but since it was located next to yesterday’s house porn post in Shaw, I had to take another photo. Best in DC?
Door of the Day
At first I just thought this was a cool looking gate in Shaw but I was able to chat with the owners who explained all the symbolism to me. The door was crafted by Stephen Warren and he did all the work in his garage. This was his first and possibly last project. The heart in the upper left hand corner is the date of his marriage.
At the bottom of the door you’ll see a tribute to lost family members. Granville Garside was the father of Stephen’s wife who passed away of cancer and Charles H. Warren is Stephen’s brother. Charles Warren was serving in the Army when he was killed in Iraq. A very touching tribute to the family’s loved ones who recently passed.
And at the very bottom of the door is the name of the house, the year it was built and the year it was renovated.
These are pretty cool because they are the exact same size but one is a double door and one is a double wide.
Some double stained glass action.
Classic subtle beauty.
Tons and tons of character on this one.
This one in Adams Morgan has some killer windows. A neighbor saw me admiring it and told me that it has not been split into condos and has been owned by the same couple for years.
I’m gonna call this one door(way) of the day as well.
It’s all about the face on this one:
I’m digging the door but I’ve been told that you’re not supposed to store firewood that close to your home.
I sorta hit pay dirt in this Dupont/West End border area.
