Many homes of Southwestern architecture have an exterior door in a wall surrounding the home that simply leads into a courtyard. I discovered this one one day while on a walk near Central Avenue and Bethany Home Road. I loved the richness of the brown wood, the golden tint of the sunshine coming from behind as well as the blue sky above. I suppose the bell is to ring the announcement of someone's entry to step beyond the doors into a garden.

You find the greatest doors! Love this!
Yes, this is a wonderful door. What rich dark wood and interesting windows. I'm glad you included that cute little bell -- nice touch.
older houses tend to have ornate doors. When i knock, will you open the door to let me in?
Lovely! I know a couple of people with doors like this. I'm always envious of them.
what a great find, lovely colours.
Love those doors! So beautiful!
I think those courtyard doors are the most charming things.
You find the most unique and beautiful doors!
Too beautiful, Kathy. What a nice, pretty way to insure your privacy.
