50 Doors in Crestview


50 Doors in Crestview
This image is the result of about an hour of driving 10 or 15 blocks. Maybe about 10% of Crestview. By the time I snapped that last pic, they boys were taking turns slapping each other in the back seat, the baby still would not sleep, and Christiane and I were seriously car sick. Research is not easy.
Normally I take photos of unusual designs, but this time I took a photo of every wood veneer door with inset windows we went by. Pretty easy to see which design was most popular.
Note the variety of the “Grover” design. The size, aspect ratio, and placement of the windows is different on all of them. The one on the bottom left has windows the size of sheets of notebook paper. The one on the top right is it’s evil twin with small narrow windows arranged high on the knob side.
Which one is the real “Grover”?
If any one is counting: 31 high on the hinge side, 5 high on the knob side.

Laurie, that’s an older style Grover. The bigger windows and shallow stagger go back to the 20s.

We have a house with a perfect peachy-pink “Westhaven” on our street. Everytime I go by it on the bus, I think of y’all.
