Doric Framed

Smooth Roman Doric columns flank a compound stone arch with a rusticated keystone, and modillions carved with acanthus leaves and dentil work top the capitals, giving this entryway a European feel. The portico serves as both shelter and balcony, crowned by an elaborately scrolled iron railing. For security, custom iron grates cover the sidelights and an iron gate secures the door, but does not obscure the fanlight above the door.
