As I've mentioned before, doors have always held particular interest for me. There is so much about this doorway that I love. The birds above the door, the door itself with its collection of windows, the lanterns on either side, the name. Built around 1935, The Barrymore Arms is now looking a little shabby but its name and its stonework are still pretty impressive. Which leads to something else I find fascinating - the practice of naming buildings. Condo and apartment complexes all over the city bear names that often seem quite fanciful. At one point I started mapping them. It's a work in progress.
