mid-century doors

i  must have passed these doors a million times and a million times i have thought to myself how utterly and wonderfully 50's it is.  its really remarkable that a really well-preserved example of mid-century piece of architecture has survived in tiny Gib.  

this place looks abandoned by the way and i've seen workers in the adjacent building go in and out so i am guessing they are either refurbishing the inside or gearing up to make way for another commercial establishment since this is along Main Street (the main tourist route with a lot of shops dotting the whole area).

so the other day i finally took a photograph of it.  i love the three-pronged wooden door knob.  i wonder who lived there before it became empty.  i wonder if there are still mid-century treasures inside.  i wonder if people still appreciate doors like these. i wonder... 

right next to that well-preserved wooden door is this wrought-iron treasure.  i smile when i see this door.  i don't know why but it makes me think of Miami in the 50's :)  seaside, cocktails and maybe a little bit of Birdcage thrown in :)

 FPV?  hhmmm.... 

twisted brass door knobs!  how cool is that?  i will definitely be on the lookout for more mid-century modern architecture here in Gib :)
