Mysterious Doorway


If anyone ever walked from the inside of this building through this doorway without paying attention to where their footsteps led them, they would tumble at least three feet to the sidewalk below.  I'm fascinated by this doorway on the side of a building in historic downtown Nacogdoches.  The wooden strip below tells me that at some point in time there must have been some steps here.  The blackened brick below tells me that at some point in time this building probably suffered a fire.  Maybe the fire burned the wooden steps.  Who knows?

It's like "The House of the Rising Sun" in New Orleans. :) Watch that first step!

great colors in that door (and above it!) lots of weathering and beating on...
