The rear door ?

10 years ago

The back door looks like an antique, do you know where I might purchase one? Or maybe what style it is?

Your local Habitant for Humanity Restore is always a great place to look for vintage solidwood doors. I found a beautiful one, with a beveled glass window, to replace a splintered gouged one in my 1926 schoolhouse home.

There are some great salvage yards all over to find these gems. One local resource for us is Vermont Salvage in White River Junction Vermont.

This is actually the front door. The part of the house where this door is was built in the mid 19th century, but I don't think this is an original door. We didn't change this door out in our renovation/addition work, so we don't have more information on this door. You can find more information on this house in this article: http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/photos/0,,20678046,00.html
