Old but Sturdy by bkbinthecity

Old but Sturdy

So with todays word being Door I figured a stop at the Old Warehouse District downtown would provide me what I was looking for. There are a lot of doors of all sizes and shapes here. I decided to go with this one. The main doors to the Old Metals Building which as you can see was built in 1914. The Metals building was a plumbing supplies warehouse. Today it is home to Ric's Bar and Grill
Awesome shot

I love seeing all the doors posted today! This is very nice - especially the history of what it is and what it has become!
January 10th, 2013  
Well those doors have stood the test of time! Well the brick building has for sure! Great shot!

I like the worn looking wood on the doors but my favourite part is the light fixtures!

Nice corner building shot and great capture of the worn doors.

Looks as solid today as it ever was. Great idea. Ricks Bar.... sounds good too.

I love wooden doors they seem to have more warmth and character. Great find.

Nice shot! Stupid question, but how do you know what the "word" for the day is? I am super busy with work (tax season), so I'm not really doing a photo-a-day at this point, but maybe a word for the day would make it easier for me right now.
January 10th, 2013  
Love those old buildings! I'm glad when people restore them.
January 10th, 2013  
Very cool old building! Awesome capture and fitting for your word of the day!
January 10th, 2013

Nice doors with lovely graining in the wood. I like the carved datestone too!

Great combination of the carpenter and stonemason's work.
January 10th, 2013  
Love this.
January 10th, 2013  
neat...I love the architecture of the building. As far as doors go, those have great texture to the grain!
January 10th, 2013  
Super - definitely fits the bill.
January 10th, 2013  
Well done. I trust you went in for a beer!
January 10th, 2013

I love the wood grain. I'll bet they're heavy doors xx
