“The Oldest Door In The World.*’ 
It may be seen in the Church of Santa Sabina, on the Aventine Hill in Rome. This 
door is of Cypress and is adorned with carvings, mostly of the 5th Century. The upper 
carving at the left is said to be the oldest representation of the crucifixion.” 
Another archaeological authority (in Princeton, New Jersey) writes: “Opinions vary 
as to the dates of these doors, but the weight of opinion puts them as early as the 5th or 
6thCentury, A.D.” ( DOES CYPRESS, “The Wood Eternal,” LAST? Does it LAST? !)

If a Cypress door continues in daily use for over 1400 years, and you build your new estate of Cypress, all or in part, how 
much will you and your posterity save in repair bills if put out at compound interest? The same logic applies to present repairs 
or additions on structures built by people who did not learn about "The Wood Eternal’’ soon enough, to build of Cypress in the 
first place. Mansion, Cottage, Farm Structures of all types, little back fence or ornate pergola—it’s all the same.
