A splendid use is made of wood panels and a 
fan light to fill the arch of this door. This 
and the other six doorways are in England 
Seven Town House Examples

Architect 
To the Adam Brothers is attributed the design¬ 
ing of this door. The wood fan is very flat in 
relief and centers in a carved rosette 
The example in the cen¬ 
ter above shows an un¬ 
usual use of brackets to 
support a heavy arched 
hood over the arched 
door 
The stone hood, carved 
brackets and door trim of the 
entrance to the right are in 
good scale with this high door 
and transom 
Delicacy of detail in the head 
and consoles makes this as 
ornate an example of a town 
house entrance as one finds 
in London 
{Left) The arched 
treatment of this 
doorway in a very 
thick wall might have 
come from some of 
the houses in the Back 
Bay section of Bos¬

the design 
This use of columns 
to flank a door is un¬ 
usual but well done, 
because of the dif¬ 
ference in scale be¬ 
tween the columns 
and the pilasters. Thz 
door paneling is espe¬ 
cially fine
