The Most Beautiful Doors in Niagara-on-the-Lake

thanks to Dan for hosting Thursday Doors https://nofacilities.com/2026/01/22/the-greek-room/

Niagara-on-the-Lake is a quaint village full of old world architecture. The Main Street is full of charming gift shops, retro and designer clothing stores, hat shops, confectionary stores, cozy coffee shops, old theatres, Christmas shops, a variety of restaurants and pubs and high end renovated inns and spas.

In January many stores are closed for the season or have limited hours. Luckily we found enough places to explore and enjoy but some of our favourite walks took place through the neighbourhood close to our hotel. This is where we found some amazing doors.

Doors on Petherton in London

thanks to Dan for hosting Thursday Doors https://nofacilities.com/2025/10/23/hartford-line-union-station/

Our flat in London was situated on Petherton Rd. in London. It is part of the Islington area and was a mere 10 minute walk to our son’s flat in Highbury. We would frequently walk down Petherton to catch the overground rail to go to the Storehouse in one direction and Hampstead in the other. Here are a few of the doorways we would pass.

What is nautical blue? According to some sites on the internet it is the following:

There are a surprising number of colours that can be considered nautical. Some of the most popular include deep blue, navy, red, black, white, turquoise, sand or khaki, brick, cream, sea green, sky blue, yellow, shades of gray, and more.

Sue is allowing us to interpret the colour nautical blue as we please. Here is my interpretation of nautical blue.

Doors of Paris

….thanks to be Dan for hosting Thursday Doors https://nofacilities.com/2022/04/14/entering-silk-city/

Paris is a city rich in history and interesting architecture. Not only are the doors on some of the iconic churches and museums interesting but everyday homes and businesses have beautiful and sometimes unusual entry ways.

Welcome to Prince Arthur Street in Toronto

….thanks to Dan from No Facilities for hosting Thursday Doorshttps://nofacilities.com/2022/01/20/old-wethersfield-business/

Prince Arthur Street is a mix of old and new. Not only is it where the Women’s Art Gallery, that I belong, is located but there are numerous businesses and restaurants in some of the older buildings dating back to the late 1800s and early 1900s. In amongst that there are also some mid-century apartment buildings/condos and much newer business towers closer to Avenue Road.
