Thursday Doors is a weekly feature hosted by Norm Frampton on his blog ‘Norm 2.0’. This week he features Le Chemin du Roy (The King’s Road), Ste-Anne de la Pérade Church. Follow the link for one of Norm’s wonderful posts.

This week, I want to feature some of the lovely doors from Chatham, Massachusetts at the south east corner of Cape Cod. My wife and I did a ‘walkabout’ while there for a wedding a few weeks ago, so I had a great chance to capture some wonderful doors.

This featured image is a lovely blue door on one of the older buildings in this colonial town. I featured this door on a post for Tuesdays of Texture along with the plaque affixed to the house next to the door.

Right next to this quaint little cottage is a wonderful garage with two lovely doors:

Here are several other doors captured during this doorscursion:

Finally, I just had to post the front of a small house on one of the side streets in the town. Perhaps you can guess why.

Two Churches in Chatham, Massachusetts

My wife and I attended a wonderful wedding in Chatham, Massachusetts last weekend. While there, we went on a photo excursion that, of course, included some wonderful doors. For this week I will post a few pictures of two of the churches in town.

The first church is Saint Christopher’s Episcopal church.

The second church on main street is the First Congregational Church organized on 1720.

There were two smaller and less interesting side doors, but they must be included to complete the series:

Today is the third and final post of the doors of Key West, Florida. The two prior posts can be found at Thursday Doors – January 19th, 2017 and Thursday Doors – January 12, 2017.

My ‘Doors to Nowhere’ shot was meant to catch your eye. There was obviously some kind of second story walkway with railing on this building in the past. If you stepped out of these doors today, you would find yourself in or through the awning below.

From here, let’s go to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, which has some beautiful red doors:

Now for a few random doors around the city:

Many thanks to Norm Frampton at ‘Norm 2.0‘ for sponsoring this weekly challenge. Follow the link to see some wonderful pictures of St. Georges Anglican Church in downtown Montreal. From there you can follow the blue frog link to all of the many other wonderful Thursday Door entries.

We are returning to Key West, Florida for our second weekly door post. I want to concentrate on historically significant buildings this week. I will start with the doors of ‘Old City Hall’. First I want you to see the historical plaque for this building to get a sense of its history:

The doors in the featured image from this building originally housed the city’s fire engines.

The front of the building also has a beautiful set of doors and houses the Visitor Center and the Chamber of Commerce:

Next we have the Audubon House. Here I will also display the historical plaque.

If you look through the doors, you can see the internal courtyard.

Finally, I give you the Key West Womans Club and the Hellings House Museum. I will not comment on the juxtaposition of these two names.

Next week, I will show all of the remaining door photos from our Key West Visit.

I found many interesting doors in Key West, Florida on our recent cruise. The variety of ages, sizes and styles is amazing. I chose the Shipwreck Treasures Museum for the Featured Image because of the character of the weathered wood.

For a little flavor, I am throwing in a picture of one of the many roosters running around on the cobblestone streets.

The reason for this flavor should be apparent with this next door:

The fowl are allowed to run free on the streets and are protected.

Here are a couple of doors from the same area of the city:

And this third door to the playhouse which I’m sure is not used very often:

I have so many more doors from this trip, that I think I will do a Part II for next week. Perhaps I will have to even turn this into a three part story.
