The wonderful contributions from everywhere will delight. Share your own link in the comments on Dan’s weekly Door’s page.
Late again but not as bad as last Saturday just under the deadline. Another tight week but I did stop at McDanial College in Westminster MD on my way home from taking care of my daughter’s cats.
I didn’t do this place justice at all. But I will return and give it a proper try again because there is a lot more of this town I hope to share.


I didn’t see any students yet but soon the paths and buildings will be full of them.
This was originally Western Maryland College founded in 1867


I can’t remember which of my children I went with on a college visit for them when they were considering different schools. Personally, I like the feel of small schools like this.

Wonderful doors and gallery, Mike! That unique turret styled porch and the oval glass in the door at #200 is amazing.
I loved the three white doors and the arches in your first image.
