Doors

Exeter College (?), Oxford

I could focus on a myriad of architectural details of buildings for several musings. The buildings are so different from what we have here in the States. How about the "dreaming spires" of Oxford? Or the gargoyles with goofy or scary faces all over the place? Or just the intricate details of the stone buildings?

The doors, though, are dramatic and grand. Here are just a few examples of beautiful, large, detailed doors in Oxford. Along with a very famous door of the great fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes at his flat, 221B Baker Street.
