I’ll take door number one please
Boston had some amazing doors! But this one made me do a double take! At first I thought it was a cellar door, but it leads into a flat below. I knocked on the door and really hoped someone would be home to let me know the history of this little door. I knocked a few times. I don’t give up that easily, but no luck. If anyone is from Boston and knows about this little door, I would love to hear from you. I can’t imagine how one uses the door. Has the street risen over the years and the door is only for show, or does one actually creep into the flat through it, or like Alice, is there a pill to make one smaller? It’s a door with so many possibilities and so many questions!

About susan sheldon
I am an explorer. It's taken me awhile to realise this. But I love capturing bits of our wonderful world with my camera, travelling through time and history, always returning to write, or paint what I've discovered. I use my Leica and my iPhone to capture images, and with those images I try to hold on to a feeling, a moment in our busy lives. Sometimes those moments bring me into the past, others into the studio to paint, or back to the old typewriter to try to use words to capture what the camera has done for me already. One of my goals in my blog is to have a space to take a breath away from our frantic world. I hope you enjoy your time here. It’s such a privilege to have readers.
What street was that on? Or if you didn’t jot it down a neighborhood location will help. (Before I commit to explaining something I might be wrong about)
I so have to get better at taking street sign shots so I know where I am. This was close to the theatre district heading up a street before turning right and back toward the Back Bay Area and Newbury Street. If I remember right! But let’s hear your thoughts even though it might be the wrong house and wrong street!
Very intriguing, no doubt. But be careful knocking on unfamiliar doors, especially those that lead to basements. You never know who–or what–may be waiting behind it. 😉
Hey what a great mystery idea..knocking on a door and photographer disappears in Boston! Thanks for the caring thought, I’m pretty careful as I go. 😉
Oh, that would be a good story!
Get writing! lol..
What a fascinating door, Susan – although I tend to agree with Carrie on this one!
I’m really careful with my James Bond super high kick! lol..It was on a fairly busy street. But thank for the caring thought! 🙂
I’m fairly certain I worked around the corner from that door for the ten years, and I still haven’t heard THE definitive explanation. I’m curious!
It was on a fairly busy street and heading towards the theatre district and back towards Back Bay..or I was in Back Bay…lol…I am so hoping someone will know the story behind this door!
