Cortelyou Road Doors

Even though most would describe New York City architecture as a mash up of at least a dozen architectural styles, there is some consistency in door styles.  That is why a lot of us find doors that don’t fit one of the common molds so interesting.

Cortelyou Road in the Flatbush-Ditmas neighborhood of Brooklyn is a mostly intact 100 year old residential/commercial street. This is becoming increasingly rare in Brooklyn.

Here are some doors (and windows) that I photographed on the street recently. Thanks for stopping by!
