I ran short of time yesterday and didn’t feel like posting something from the archive. But it was time well spent catching up with a very old friends. I’ll work on maintenance for my scheduling and try to be on time next week.
So, I went out this morning and captured a few images for Thursday Doors in the old mill town of Ellicott City.
Join the fun of Thursday Doors. The link to Dan’s Site – No Facilities to see many more talented displays of grand entrances. Have a great week all. And as always thank you Dan.
Boy it was hot out. I worked up a good sweat coming back up the hill in the sun. I know these guys were going to lose a few pounds in that direct sun all day.
This building sits behind the old Times Newspaper building. I wasn’t there when I worked at the paper in town. I do like the stonework on it.
I think this is the employee entrance to Jackie’s Doll shop.
One of the most abused shots in the history of the county.
If I were to look for an office I kind of like this one.
There were a lot more steps there.

I like the stone buildings and the red doors, Mike. That house at the end with the steps reminds me of my childhood. I had friends who lived in a house like that, and the stairs saved a lot of time if I was walking.
