1950's doors

Oct 27, 2006 16 Replies

Back in the 1950's-60's there were alot of ranch style homes being built. I remember most of them having front doors with interesting geometric designed windows. There's one design in particular which had



3 windows in the top corner of the door in the shape of 3 "BELLS". Does anyone remember these? I'd really like to find one of these doors for my home, but I have absolutely no idea where to even begin looking for one. I know of 2 houses in my are which still have this front door. It's very art deco. Bryan

I clicked the mouse 3 times (nothing was happening each time I clicked it). I didn't realize the message would appear mulitiple times. Now I look like an idiot spammer, and this whole thread ends up in the toilet. Lovely. I hate computers Bryan

p.s. again. Do I need to mention over in your alt.building.construction post that I don't remember or will you remember from here that I don't remember?

click on show options on each post then choose remove to elmiate the duplicates.

apparently theres a problem the same thing happened to me today...

I remember! But what I remember I forgot.

Anyhow, to answer your question. Look for a place that deals in salvage building materials. There is usually one is most fairly large cities.

I'm not much of an artist, but here's a rough idea of the door I'm talking about (note the 3 windows in the upper corner shaped like bells). Does anyone remember these?

So you do know where to look. Go in through the back window, so you don't damage the door.
