Beautiful Blue

A door does not have to be big like this one to be beautiful!

St Luke's in St. Paul

"One of the city's outstanding parish churches, a free interpretation of French and Italian Romanesque. The facade has elaborately carved portals, the largest of which depicts Christ and various saints...Above the main portal is a spectacular rose window set within a pattern frame." (AIA Guide to the Twin Cities by Larry Millett, p451). I don't have a picture of the rose window, but I'll go back and photograph that and the inside of the church soon. The church was completed in 1925. For a close-up of the front door and a photo of another door in the church, click here. Thanks to Isabella for her comment yesterday, which is now the title of this post.

Church Door #3 (Side Entrance)

This is the door on the side entrance of St. Luke's Catholic Church located on the corner of Lexington Boulevard and Summit Avenue. Would you like to see the main entrance?

Church Door #2

This door graces the entrance to St. Paul's on the Hill Episcopal Church which was founded in 1854. It's located on historical Summit Avenue.

Happy Mother's Day!!

St. Kate's church door looks very different during the day than it does at night.

My Favorite House

Because this is the entrance to my favorite St. Paul house, I like the door but there are more spectacular doors on Summit Avenue. See April 13th, please (Blogger says the tag is too long to link!)

My Favorite-Dedicated to Marie of Alexandria, VA

Historically Summit Avenue has been the premier street in St. Paul, and you can enter many of the old homes through lovely doors. This is my favorite on the entire avenue. At night, the etched glass panels literally glow! This post is for Marie, Alexandria, Va. for posting doors she receives from other bloggers throughout the world!
