A house's front door and the decoration around it give visitors a strong sense of the building's style. Take a look at this interesting collection of architectural first impressions.
The front door of any house says volumes about its style—and the tastes of its occupants.
With its twin sconces, urns, and half-moon shutters, this arched doorway is a study in symmetry—with one exception: one panel of the six-panel door is glazed to create a clever peephole. Limestone voussoirs—wedge-shaped stones that form the arch—anchored by a prominent keystone provide depth to the portal, which is counterbalanced by the cheery red door.
