Mysterious gold lettering on a door in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter reads: Law Office Eddie O’Hare, Esquire. It’s actually the sneaky entrance to a speakeasy, the underground, 1920’s themed Prohibition Lounge!
Here’s another batch of cool door photographs, taken during my walks around San Diego.
Some of these doors are rather odd, as you can plainly see! Others have interesting historical significance. Most are just plain fun!
To learn a bit more, read the captions!
Nautical-looking door of the American Tunaboat Association on the Embarcadero near Tuna Harbor.Interesting detail above the door of the 1906 Hearne Surgical Hospital Building in downtown San Diego.These old wooden doors to the patio of Indigo Grill in Little Italy are enormous! Â I don’t know their origin.A very odd metal door in Little Italy. Seems to me it would quite easy to step around it!Not sure I’d want to follow the arrow and step through this door in the Gaslamp Quarter. Looks dangerous!In San Diego’s small Chinatown one can see a cool sight that traces back to early San Diego history. The door to Quin Produce!The unusually tall stained glass door of the Philippine Library and Museum in the Gaslamp. I’ll probably visit one day!It’s what meets you at the front door of Mexican Fiesta in Seaport Village that’s out of the ordinary. A sculpture of a bandito sitting on a bench!Step through the front door of Cinema Under the Stars in Mission Hills and you’re met by Hollywood movie stars!

It seems appropriate that a city so diverse as San Diego would have interesting doors!! Terrific!
Richard, these are great doors! Have you heard of Thursday Doors, a weekly blog feature on Norm 2.0? Check it out if you’re interested. I contribute to it every so often.
Hello Richard, I found this doing a tag search for doors.
What an awesome collection you have here!
As Terri mentioned on my blog I host a weekly link-up even called #ThursdayDoors where folks from all over come together to share their favorite door pics.
Please do come by and check it out, and by all means feel free add your post to our link up list so others can find it. Just look for the blue button near the end of my post. We take entries each week from Thursday to Saturday – cheers
Very nice theme, doors always fascinate us — both for what they physically are, and for the message they send (welcoming, forbidding, reassuring, intimidating, friendly, brutal, respectful of their context, arrogant, cared-for, neglected…)

I like the cheerful ones!
The Philippine Library and Museum door is gorgeous! I’m partial to stained glass :)!
One of these days I plan to pay the museum a visit!
