Architecture - Entrance Doorway

Upper East Side
Entrance Door

I have a passion for doors and windows ...

In architecture, the facade of a building is often the most important from a design standpoint, as it sets the tone for the rest of the building.

This weekend while I was walking in my neighborhood, I decided to take pictures of the entrance gates and doors that caught my attention.

The front entrance is so important for a building, it tells a story, it reflects who are the people living there; and one could see much attention and budget have given for the front entrances from these by-gone era's-architects and owners.
