Thursday Doors: Apartment Entry (and some stained glass too)

Every Thursday the always awesome Norm over at Norm 2.0 has a fun feature called, “Thursday Doors”.  Norm challenges us to find unique and fascinating doors that we happen to come across during our travels.

I was out for a wander last week and came across this lovely door.  Although it appears that I took this photo fairly close to the door, I was actually quite a distance away, peering through (yet another) gated entry.

I like the stained glass adorning both sides of this entrance.  This is an apartment (condo) building.  It never ceases to amaze me how much detail and intricacy has been put into not only the doors when they were constructed, but in the upkeep ‘all these years later’.

I don’t think I’ve ever been in a city that has this much varied and fascinating architecture.  Chicago definitely excels in this category.

It’s funny because I keep finding these gorgeous doors that I have no doubt walked past many times.  But isn’t that always the way?  If you pay attention to something you will most likely begin seeing it everywhere, despite the fact it was in your presence all along. 🙂

Thanks to Norm 2.0 for creating such a fun and interesting weekly post challenge!
