Door of the Day
I guess maybe more of a gate really… From Mass. Ave east of Dupont Circle.
Old school screen door from Cleveland Park. Side windows aren’t too shabby either.
One of my favorites from Mt. Pleasant.
Thanks to a reader for sending in another great DC Flag example from Capitol Hill.
From Dupont.
This has been a rough week for me, first the sweet Chinatown gate vanishes (though it’s possible it could return in 2015) and now my third favorite door has lost its cow – from 2012:
My second favorite one (above) located around the corner from my favorite (below with bonus with grill) in Logan:

The awesome gate from the side of the Wok n Roll restaurant on H Street in Chinatown has vanished. Perhaps it’s just getting restored but I’m not holding my breath…
UPDATE: DC Commission on Arts and Humanities says they’ve removed the gate for restoration. “The ornamental artwork was in severe disrepair and posed a safety hazard to adjoining businesses and the general public. The Dragon’s Gate was created by Atlanta-based artist Andrew Crawford in 2007— as way of camouflaging and beautifying an otherwise drab alley corridor that housed trash bins and served as a service entrance. A conservator will restore it, and the goal is to return in in 2015.”
It was a beauty so hopefully it will return one day:
From Dec. 2011
I love this one from Parker Street, NE (near H Street).
